Sajeti's Station House Officer (SHO) Mukesh Solanki said six others, including village head Randheer Yadav, who had also consumed spurious liquor were being treated at the Lala Lajpat Rai (LLR) hospital.
The deceased have been identified as Ankit Sachan (32), a health worker, and Anoop Sachan (30), a truck driver.
Solanki said prima facie it appears that the victims had consumed the spurious liquor on Saturday night and then started developing complications.
