The CM directed the DGP to personally monitor the situation and ensure that “strict action is taken against those involved in the crime”.The CM also directed Department of Prohibition and Excise Secretary Vinod Singh Gunjiyal and the Bihar Police ADG (Prohibition) to personally visit the areas where the incident took place and thoroughly investigate the matter.Commenting on the incident, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, on Friday in a post on X wrote, “Bihar CM Nitish Kumar should be blamed for the latest hooch deaths in the state. It’s a mass murder. Liquor ban is an example of Nitish Kumar-led government’s institutional corruption. If liquor ban has been implemented then it is the government’s responsibility to implement it efficiently but it’s not happening.””The liquor ban is super flop in Bihar today.Due to the unholy nexus between ruling politicians-police and liquor mafia, a black market of illegal liquor, worth more than Rs 30,000 crore has flourished in Bihar,” the post further read.”According to state government records, number of people who died due to consumption of spurious liquor is more than 300. Who is their killer ?”
