Police in Bogura yesterday arrested four homeopathy shop owners accused of selling toxic liquor that may have caused at least 13 deaths in the town since Saturday.
After talking to locals, family members of the deceased, and people who fell ill from ingesting the toxic liquor, our Bogura correspondent reported that at least 13 people died reportedly after having poisonous liquor (mainly rectified spirit mixed with methanol) in Bogura in that time.
A press release issued by the Bogura Sadar Police Station, however, said they have found that a total of eight people died in the town since last Saturday after consuming toxic liquor.

Three months ago, however, the 45-year-old who did not even complete his school education was appointed the chief chemist of a factory manufacturing fake foreign liquor.
Jahangir used to make fake vodka and whisky in a factory on the second floor of a small building in the capital s Bhatara.
