Chitradurga: Spurious liquor has claimed three lives within a weeks time in the Chitradurga district raising concerns among villagers here.

According to the police, the incident was reported from Siddapura village of the district. The deceased have been identified as Parashuramappa (55), his brother Venkatappa (60) and another villager Chati Thimmappa (65).

According to the villagers, all these three fell sick after consuming the cheap liquor being supplied in the city.

Irate villagers kept the body of all the three people in front of the district Excise department office as part of their protest against the government demanding action against the sale of spurious liquor in the village. The villagers alleged that there are around 30-35 illegal spurious liquor shops in the village that cause a problem for one and all. The protest was withdrawn after an assurance from the officers that stern action will be initiated against the suppliers.
