Poisonous moonshine claims three lives in Faisalabad

FAISALABAD: At least three people died in Faisalabad after consuming cheap homemade alcohol, Geo News reported.

According to initial reports the moonshiner whom the victims had bought the poisonous liquor from has not been arrested yet.

Sources said the drinkers, residents of Batala Colony, were rushed to hospital after they passed out, but they could not survive. The dead bodies have been handed over to the families.

Every year dozens of people die in Pakistan after drinking homemade brew tainted with methanol, but the whip is never cracked on the suppliers and moonshiners.
