The death toll in the suspected adulterated toddy case in Hyderabad rose to eight on Friday (July 11, 2025). According to Balanagar zone assistant commissioner of police (ACP) P. Naresh Reddy, the official count remains at eight.
“Many families have been cremating the bodies without informing the police. While they have similar symptoms, we are not able to confirm such cases. We are monitoring the situation,” he said.
A forensic doctor from Gandhi Hospital confirmed that postmortem examinations have been completed on six bodies.
