Bihar witnessed 20 deaths in a day due to the consumption of spurious liquor hooch. The death toll is expected to rise. This incident took place in the Doila village of Isapuar police station area and Yadu Mor Mashrak police station.
In response to the incident, Madhaura DSP said, “they are looking for people who’ve consumed the liquor and fallen sick. Dead bodies have been sent for postmortem and others are being treated in the hospital.”
Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar lost his temper in the assembly on hooch tragedy and said, “Kya hogaya, jehrii sharab, halla kar rahe tum log.” This comment came after BJP tried to target him over the Chhapra hooch tragedy.
