In Berhampur, a tragic incident has taken place where four people have lost their lives due to consuming spurious liquor. The latest victim was a 60-year-old man named Baya Sethi from Karabalua village near Chikiti, who passed away at MKCG Medical College and Hospital on Sunday. This news was confirmed by SP Sarthak Sarangi.
Sadly, this is not the first casualty in this hooch tragedy. Lakshman Behera, who was also receiving treatment at the hospital, passed away on Saturday. The two other victims were Juru Behera and Loknath Behera. It is truly heartbreaking to hear about the loss of these innocent lives.
The incident occurred on August 19 when at least 15 people from Jenapur and Karabalua area were admitted to the medical college and hospital after consuming the suspected spurious liquor from a local vendor in Maundapur village. In response, the police and excise personnel have taken strict action against the illegal liquor manufacturing units in the area. Numerous raids have been conducted, resulting in the seizure and destruction of large quantities of liquor. The SP has also announced that these raids will continue to be intensified in the future.
Moreover, 16 individuals have been arrested in connection with this hooch tragedy. It is reassuring to see the authorities taking swift action and holding those responsible accountable for their actions. Measures must be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
