His death has added another dimension to the ongoing investigation into the illicit alcohol operation.
The toxic liquor case has raised serious concerns about the circulation of spurious alcohol in the region and the inadequate regulatory oversight of such operations. Authorities have intensified their probe to identify all those involved in the production and distribution network.
