The toll in Mumbai's worst hooch tragedy rose to 102  with the death of five more victims who consumed spurious liquor in Malad area and another 46 are in hospitals with eight of them struggling to survive serious ill-effects of the killer brew.

Squarely blaming the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government for the tragedy, the Opposition Congress asked Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to step down owning moral responsibility and demanded a Central Bureau Investigation inquiry into it. So far seven persons have been arrested in the case and eight police and four excise officials suspended. All of those arrested are in police custody.

Stepping up the heat, Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam said, "The excise minister should take responsibility of this tragedy and quit. Since the home department is with the chief minister he should also resign."
