According to a police officer in the central state of Chhattisgarh, seven persons died over the past couple of days after they complained of stomach ache and infection. The deaths were reported from a village in the state's Bilaspur district.
All the dead were aged between 35 and 60. While some locals believed that those who died had developed stomach infection after consuming a community feast a couple of days ago, others were of the opinion that they had consumed spurious liquor which led to their deaths, according to a local media.
Local officials were investigating the cause of the deaths.
In another incident, four persons died when a sand-laden truck overturned on them in India's western state of Gujarat on Sunday. The incident occurred on the Tharad National Highway in the state's Banaskantha district.
Among the dead were a child and three laborers working at a road-laying site.
