At least 14 people died after drinking illegal home-brewed liquor sold at unauthorized shops in India's remote northeast, police said Saturday. The death toll was likely to rise because 61 others were hospitalized after drinking the noxious brew Friday night in Tezpur, a town 110 miles north of Gauhati, the capital of Assam state, police officer L. Bora said by telephone. Many of those hospitalized were in critical condition, a doctor said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.The liquor deaths triggered violence, with angry residents attacking government offices and torching half a dozen motorbikes and some shops, Bora said. The residents also tried to burn down the state excise tax office, which regulates the liquor trade. Bora said samples of the home-brew liquor have been sent to a lab for tests.
