Chandigarh: BJP MP and actor Sunny Deol sought an impartial probe into the hooch tragedy in Punjab that claimed more than 100 lives.

In a letter to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, Deol dubbed the magisterial inquiry ordered by the state government into the incident as ''mere eyewash''.

Sunny Deol"One and all in the country are saddened and concerned with the hooch tragedy that has taken away more than 100 lives in Punjab," Deol said in the letter.

He said that the incident reflected the total intelligence failure of law enforcement agencies in gathering information on the ongoing spurious liquor trade.

LiquorThe death toll in the Punjab hooch tragedy rose to 110 with six more people reported dead, officials said.

He said that ordering a magisterial enquiry will be an "eyewash" and serve no purpose unless a full-fledged "free and fair and impartial" investigation is made, officials and culprits are booked and stringent action is taken against them.
