How Madhya Pradesh illicit liquor deaths brought 'doorstep delivery' network into focus

In Madhya Pradesh's Sagar district, at least 15 people died and over 100 others were hospitalized after consuming spurious liquor. The incident has highlighted a local 'doorstep delivery' system for illicit alcohol. Police have arrested 10 individuals and seized two types of suspected liquor, though the exact cause of illness remains under investigation. Authorities suspect either local suppliers or an interstate liquor mafia involved in selling adulterated liquor. The state's excise commissioner has initiated checks on seized stock, and the chief minister has suspended several officials for their roles in regulating the illegal trade.
