Poisonous illegal alcohol has killed at least 87 people in two southern Indian states since the weekend, police say.

Bootleggers have been selling the drink in a district on the border between the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Sixteen more deaths were reported from the outskirts of the Karnataka capital, Bangalore, on Tuesday and police expect the number of dead to rise.

Most of the dead are poor, migrant workers. Deaths from illegally brewed alcohol are common in South Asia.
