Mumbai/New Delhi: Six days after Mumbai’s worst hooch tragedy, which has claimed 102 lives so far, the man who allegedly supplied the killer brew was on Tuesday arrested and the Maharashtra government ordered a probe by the state’s chief secretary into the incident.
Mansoor Ali, alias Atiq, said to be the main supplier of the spurious liquor, was apprehended by a joint team of Crime Branch of Mumbai police and North-East Delhi police from Seelampur in the national capital, officials said, in Delhi. Mansoor was on the run after the death toll began mounting and was being sheltered by a “link”.
On getting a tip-off, Mumbai police sought help of their Delhi counterparts and succeeded in tracking down the link, who gave information leading to Mansoor’s arrest.
