“The death of three person on account of allgedly consuming spurious liquor had been admitted by the family members of the deceased. Now, after an FIR has been registered by the police in this regard, it shows how spurious liquor was being supplied by the liquor mafia in the state under the patronage of political bigwigs of the ruling party,” he said.
