BJP slams Bihar govt
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla slammed the alliance government over the death due to the consumption of illicit liquor in Siwan.
"It is not Nitish Raj but Nasha Raj of JDU and RJD. Recently we have seen how more than 80 people have died but instead of taking strong action against the liquor mafia, Bihar CM blamed the victim as he said Piyoge to Maroge. The liquor mafia are so emboldened and brazened that they drown and kill police, men who went to carry out a raid," he said.
70 had died in Chhapra last month
Last month in December 2022, as many as 70 people died after consuming illicit liquor in Bihar’s Chhapra district.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) arrested a liquor smuggler in connection with the case and also recovered Rs 2.17 lakh in cash.
The hooch tragedy in Chhapra grabbed the national limelight. After the incident, the Saran police have launched an operation to identify and arrest people suspected to be involved in the illicit liquor trade, transportation, smuggling and brewing.
