Coldrif row intensifies: As toll rises, MP blames Tamil Nadu over licence; TN counters, says Centre cleared drug

The death toll from adulterated cough syrup reached 23 after two more children died of renal failure. Police arrested the owner of Tamil Nadu-based Sresan Pharmaceuticals, which manufactured the Coldrif medicine, for allegedly lacing the syrup with DEG. The incident has sparked a political blame game between state governments.
