Four people died after consuming spurious liquor in Rohtas district of Bihar, following which nine police officials have been suspended. The Nitish Kumar government had imposed a complete ban on sale and consumption of alcohol in Bihar in last April. All constables posted in Ka­c­hhwa police station area have also been transferred, cops said. "Nine po­l­i­cemen, including three insp­ectors, have been pla­c­ed suspended. A speedy trial will be ensured upon the completion of the investigation," the DGP control room said.
