Buxar

At least six people have died after drinking suspected spurious liquor in Bihar's Buxar district on Wednesday, local police said Thursday.

Police said that the six people "died under mysterious circumstances." Relatives of those who died alleged that the victims had drunk spurious liquor.

"This happened due to spurious liquor. What is the administration doing? If there is a liquor ban then how are they getting it?" a relative of one of the deceased asked.

The police are investigating matter. More details are awaited.

There has been a total ban on liquor in Bihar since April 2016 but hooch tragedies have continued to happen. 

Earlier this month, 11 people died in Nalanda after drinking illicit alcohol.
