Analysis Summary:

The article's claim about deaths and hospitalizations due to tainted liquor in India is partially supported by verification sources, although the exact death toll varies. The article's statement about the prevalence of deaths from cheap alcohol in India is plausible but lacks direct verification from the provided sources. There's a slight bias towards sensationalizing the issue by focusing on the negative consequences of illicit alcohol.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim 1:** "21 dead, 10 hospitalized after drinking tainted liquor in India"
• Verification Source #2: Contradicts the death toll, stating it rose to 47.
• Verification Source #1: Mentions a similar incident in 2019 where over 150 were killed, suggesting the claim is plausible, but doesn't verify the specific numbers.
• Verification Source #4: Confirms that methanol poisoning incidents occur due to tainted bootleg liquor.
• Claim 2:** "Hundreds of people die every year in India from drinking cheap alcohol made in backstreet distilleries."
• The provided sources do not directly verify this specific claim. While Verification Source #1 mentions a large number of deaths in a past incident, it doesn't confirm the annual frequency or the "hundreds" figure. This claim is plausible based on general knowledge of the issue, but cannot be definitively verified with the provided sources.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Verification Source #2: "Death toll from India tainted liquor tragedy rises to 47" contradicts the article's claim of 21 deaths.
• Verification Source #1: "In 2019, more than 150 were killed and 200 others hospitalized after drinking…" supports the general idea that tainted alcohol leads to deaths and hospitalizations, but does not verify the specific numbers in the article.
• Verification Source #4: "Outbreaks of methanol toxicity have occurred when methanol is used to lace moonshine (bootleg liquor), which is an alcohol-related crime" supports the idea that tainted liquor is a cause of death.
