Chapra Toxic Liquor: Watch Bihar CM Nitish Kumar loses his temper in State Assembly

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar lost his cool in the State Assembly on December 14 after Leader of Opposition (LoP) Vijay Kumar Sinha raised questions on the state government’s liquor ban policy as five people lost their lives in Chhapra after consuming spurious liquor.

Bihar is a dry state, and the Nitish Kumar-led state government had imposed complete prohibition on liquor and drugs in 2016. As a result, the opposition parties in the State Assembly raised questions and criticized the state government over the recent incident in Chapra where people lost their lives after consuming toxic liquor.

Even after the liquor ban, Bihar continues to witness deaths owing to the consumption of spurious liquor.

In a recent incident, as many as five people lost their lives after consuming spurious liquor in the Saran district's Chhapra. The death toll is expected to rise. The local police are currently investigating the matter.
