Two senior leaders of the Chirag Paswan-led LJP (Ram Vilas) were found dead on Wednesday in suspicious circumstances in Bisfi, Madhubani district of Bihar. The deceased were identified as LJP-RV block president Laliteshwar Paswan and IT cell district spokesperson Amarjeet Kumar Yadav. The duo's death was allegedly caused by spurious liquor. However, the police have not yet confirmed the cause of the death.

Bihar is a dry state where alcohol is banned.

Amarjeet, the operator of Payal Nursing Home in the village, was found dead on the facility's premises. His body was found on a bed with his head on a pillow and his neck hanging down. When the nursing home staff saw him, they first tried to wake him up by calling out his name and then shaking him But when he did not respond, they realised he was dead. The nursing home staff then informed the Bisfi police station.

The station house officer, Avinash Kumar, reached the spot and began an investigation into the incident. The body was sent for post-mortem. The station house officer said that prima facie it appeared that the death was the result of a heart attack. However, the exact cause would be known only after the post-mortem report is out.

On the death of Laliteshwar Yadav, the police said they had no information.

Locals said Amarjeet and Laliteshwar were last seen together on Tuesday evening and both of them were drunk. Laliteshwar Paswan's wife, Durga Devi, confirmed that he returned home from somewhere after drinking and refused to eat. After a while, he felt uneasy and asked for only water.

After a lot of uneasiness and restlessness, his condition deteriorated. Durga Devi said they were taking him to Darbhanga for treatment but he died on the way. She said that he must have died after drinking adulterated liquor. Benipatti SDPO Nishikant Bharti, however, refused to comment on the matter.
