poisoning following the consumption of toxic homemade liquor rose to 90 on
Saturday, Mumbai police said.
Dhananjay Kulkarni, deputy police commissioner in the western Indian city,
said it was possible that the number of dead from drinking the illicit
moonshine could reach three figures.
"Ninety people have now died," he said. "More than 40 are being treated in
hospital and the death toll may reach 100," the commissioner added.
Victims first started to fall ill on Wednesday morning after consuming the
illegal booze and new patients were still being admitted to hospital on
Saturday, Kulkarni said.
Five people have so far been arrested for distributing and selling the
alcohol in a slum in the suburb of Malad West, in the north of the city.
Eight police officers have also been suspended for "negligence" for allowing
the sale to take place on their patch, Kulkarni said.

liquor consumption, in Mumbai …
An investigation is taking place over whether high levels of methanol were
present in the moonshine, often called "country liquor" in India.
Methanol, a highly toxic form of alcohol used as anti-freeze or fuel, is
often added to bootleg liquor in India as a cheap and quick method of upping
the alcohol content.
Unlicensed liquor is widely consumed across the country where it is
sometimes sold for less than a dollar for a 25cl bottle, with deaths
frequently reported.
It is rare however for such incidents to occur in a major city like Mumbai,
with most cases taking place in poor, rural villages.
The latest incident is the worst case of its kind to be recorded in Mumbai
since 2004 when around 100 people died.
In January, more than 31 people died near Lucknow in the northern state of
Uttar Pradesh after drinking a lethal batch of home-brew.
And police arrested 12 people in October 2013 after more than three dozen
villagers died from toxic liquor also in Uttar Pradesh.
In 2011 nearly 170 people died in the eastern state of West Bengal after
drinking moonshine.

80年代这种事情是非常多，90年代以后好像少一些。而且是南方发生得多，亮光云南湖
南湖北之类的地方
