On 25 July 2022, at least 42 people died and more than 97 were hospitalized in a methanol poisoning incident in Gujarat, India.[1][2] The victims had consumed undiluted methyl alcohol (methanol), assuming it to be alcohol.[3] The spurious liquor was then sold to more than 100 people in the villages of Ahmedabad, Botad and Surendranagar.
The Gujarat government said that the deaths were caused by "chemical poisoning" caused by 98.71% to 98.99% methanol, illegally sourced from an employee of a chemical packaging company, who sold it to bootleggers from different villages in the Botad district. An investigation is ongoing and fifteen people have been arrested by the police in the incident. Police have said they have recovered 475 litres of the liquid.[4][5]
