Bihar: Despite the prohibition law in force in Bihar for years, the series of deaths due to poisonous liquor is not stopping. The latest case has come to light from Motihari district, which has once again raised serious questions on law and order and administrative monitoring. So far 5 have died due to poisonous liquor while 6 have lost their eyesight. Not only this, the condition of 7 people in this case is said to be critical. Taking action, the government has suspended the SHO. The watchman is arrested there. A case of murder has also been registered in two different police stations.
Poisonous liquor wreaks havoc in Motihari
Let us tell you that many people lost their lives due to drinking poisonous liquor in Mohithari. While seven people are battling between life and death in the hospital. The most painful aspect of this incident is that many victims have lost their eyesight. According to doctors, these are clear symptoms of consumption of alcohol containing toxic elements like methyl alcohol.
Administrative action and arrest
Considering the seriousness of the matter, the police has taken immediate action. Confirming the four deaths, SP Swarn Prabhat said that the main accused Naga Rai and watchman Bharat Rai have been arrested. Also, local police station in-charge Umashankar Manjhi has been suspended. This action shows the activeness of the administration, but the question is why such incidents are happening again and again.
painful story of victims
A young man named Chandu, who was among the dead, was cremated hastily, which deepens the suspicion in the case. Meanwhile, Loha Thakur, admitted in the hospital, said that he had consumed “spirit liquor”, after which his health deteriorated and he lost his eyesight. This statement highlights the dangerous nature of illicit liquor.
Political temperature is high regarding the incident
Political temperature is also high regarding the incident in Motihari. RJD has taken a dig at the government regarding this incident. He said – There is no liquor ban in Bihar, the government has closed its eyes. Liquor traders have nexus with politicians. There was a reaction from BJP on this matter. He said – Liquor prohibition cannot be successful without the cooperation of the people. Jitan Ram Manjhi’s statement on death due to poisonous liquor has also come to light. He said- better management is needed to make prohibition successful. There is a mistake happening somewhere.
Illegal business flourishing even after liquor ban
Local people say that after the prohibition, the illegal liquor business has increased even more in the area. According to Chandu’s family, illegal liquor is being sold openly at hundreds of places. This situation shows that despite the law, its influence at the grassroots level is weakening.
Lessons not learned from past incidents
This is not the first time that such a tragedy has happened in Motihari. Even three years ago, about 45 people had died here due to poisonous liquor. Apart from this, the death of five people under suspicious circumstances in Rohtas also created a sensation this year. Despite these incidents, the lack of concrete improvements is worrying.
