Bihar hooch tragedy: Over 10 people have died and several fell ill after allegedly consuming spurious liquor in Saran district`s Chhapra area in Bihar. Police have warned that the toll could rise. The matter was also discussed in the state Assembly on Wednesday.
In the Assembly, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar lost his cool when leaders of the opposition BJP attacked his government over the issue. CM Kumar screamed at the BJP MLAs ``Sharabi ho gaye ho tum...(you are drunk)".

"Three died, bodies sent for postmortem, these look like suspicious deaths. I have also received information that some more are receiving treatment at different places," said the SP, Saran.
Among the deceased is Amit Ranjan, who died during treatment at Chhapra Sadar Hospital. The district police force reached the hospital and took Ranjan`s body into custody. The police said that the cause of the death would be ascertained only after the post-mortem.
