Many questions have been raised after liquor cartoons were seized from a government office in Paru. A case has been registered against six people in connection with the recovery of liquor from a government office.

Liquor bottles were found in 135 cartoons during the raid. Cartoon sacks full of liquor bottles were packed and kept in a corner. The raiding team seized all 135 cartoon sacks.
The consumption and sale of illegal liquor does not stop
Bihar has had a prohibition law in force since 2016 but consumption and sale of liquor continues to be illegal. Since the implementation of the Prohibition Act, there is total ban on production, sale and consumption of liquor in the state. Even after the implementation of the Prohibition Act, illegal liquor business continues in the state and shows no sign of stopping.
