In yet another tragic incident linked to illicit liquor consumption, eight people have died, and many others have been hospitalized in the Saran district of Bihar. The victims, primarily from villages in the area, consumed spurious alcohol over the weekend, leading to widespread panic and an ongoing investigation by local authorities.

The tragedy occurred despite the state’s strict alcohol prohibition laws, which were enacted in 2016. Several others are currently undergoing treatment at local hospitals, with some in critical condition. The families of the victims reported that the affected individuals began showing symptoms of poisoning shortly after consuming the liquor.

District officials confirmed that several raids have been conducted in the area, and samples of the suspected liquor have been sent for forensic analysis. Initial reports suggest that methanol poisoning may have been a factor, as has been the case in previous hooch incidents across the state. Police have detained a few suspects involved in the illegal manufacture and distribution of the toxic brew.

Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expressed deep concern over the incident and has ordered a thorough inquiry into the tragedy. This is the latest in a series of hooch-related deaths in Bihar, where the state government has faced criticism over the implementation of its prohibition policy. Opposition parties have called for a review of the law, arguing that it has fueled a thriving black market for alcohol, leading to the loss of lives.

Residents in the affected villages are demanding justice and compensation for the families of the victims. The state administration has pledged to take strict action against those responsible for producing and distributing illegal liquor. However, the tragedy raises questions about the effectiveness of Bihar’s prohibition laws and the ability of local authorities to curb the illicit alcohol trade.

In the past, hooch tragedies have been common in states with prohibition policies, where the lure of cheap, unregulated liquor leads to the consumption of toxic brews. Experts argue that without better enforcement and alternative livelihoods for those involved in the black market, such incidents will continue to occur.

As the investigation continues, the tragedy serves as a grim reminder of the human cost of illicit liquor and the ongoing challenge for law enforcement in states like Bihar.
