The incident triggered a political slugfest in Bihar Assembly today, with Opposition leader mounting a strong attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over a spate of deaths due to the consumption of illicit liquor in the State. Later, an irate Nitish Kumar lost his cool in the Assembly and snapped at Opposition MLAs who targeted the government over the prohibition of alcohol in the State.
The sale and consumption of alcohol were banned in Bihar by the Nitish Kumar government in 2016.
