Following the Hooch Tragedy in Chhapra, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on December 15 said that the people who will consume spurious liquor will die. He said, “Even when there was no liquor ban here, people died due to spurious liquor, even in other states. People should be alert. As there is a liquor ban here, something spurious will be sold due to which people die. Liquor is bad and shouldn’t be consumed. Last time, when people died due to spurious liquor, someone said they should be compensated. If someone consumes liquor, they’ll die and example is before us.”
