Bihar Hooch Tragedy: The SIT team formed to investigate the deaths due to spurious liquor in Chhapra, Siwan, and Begusarai in Bihar has arrested liquor mafia Anil Singh in the case.

NHRC To Send Investigation Team To Bihar 
 
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has decided to send a spot investigation team led by one of its members to probe the case. In the Saran district, the death toll due to drinking spurious liquor increased to 30 on Friday. 

This is the biggest incident of its kind ever since alcohol was banned in Bihar six years ago. The NHRC said in a statement that amid reports of more deaths in Bihar due to spurious liquor, the commission "has decided to send a team headed by one of its members to the spot for investigation".  

Politics Deepens On Deaths 

Amid investigations and actions by authorities, politics is deepening over the matter with the opposition leaving no chance to attack the Nitish Kumar-led state government. Jamui MP and Lok Jan Shakti Party chief Chirag Paswan met the Governor on Saturday and submitted a memorandum regarding this issue. Chirag lashed out at Nitish Kumar fiercely as soon as he came out of the Governor's house. 

CM Nitish Kumar On Compensation 

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday said that no compensation will be given to those who died after drinking spurious alcohol in the state recently. While addressing the state assembly on the issue of the alcohol ban in Bihar, the CM said that he has been appealing to people that if they will drink alcohol, they will die. 

He said, "If you die from drinking alcohol and think we will give compensation, it is not going to happen."
