Orissa hooch tragedy (2012)〔District collector refused to term it a case of "hooch tragedy", saying the people died after consuming spurious medicines and not liquor.〕 (alliteratively Cuttack hooch tragedy) killed at least 29 people in the Indian state of Orissa. 28 people died in Cuttack and one succumbed at the Capital hospital in Bhubaneswar. As many as 51 others are still battling for survival in SCB Medical College and Hospital. The victims, mostly poor men from Cuttack and Khordha districts and the local brew seller himself, had consumed spurious liquor from a joint in Mahidharpada area of Cuttack on 6 February 2012. The liquor contained medicines such as that used to treat cold, cough and to dress wounds. Later, 10 people were arrested. They include the powerful and influential liquor kingpin's relatives and officials of the pharmaceutical companies who provided the liquor makers with chemicals. Chief minister of Orissa Naveen Patnaik ordered a judicial inquiry into the incident. But, rejecting the government's decision of a judicial probe in the hooch tragedy, Congress accused the state excise minister A. U. Singhdeo of being responsible for the tragedy and alleged that the excise minister has direct links with the powerful liquor mafias of Orissa. ==References== * () * () * () 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Odisha hooch tragedy (2012)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
