A Class 4 student in Begusarai, Bihar returned home drunk after consuming illicit liquor stored in the school toilet. Police seized 23 cartons containing 204 litres of liquor from the dilapidated toilet. The incident occurred a week after a hooch tragedy killed nine people in East Champaran. Authorities registered a case against unknown persons. Bihar enforced prohibition laws in 2016, but illicit liquor continues smuggling through porous borders.
