Hooch tragedy in Bihar, minor dies in Odisha after injection
At least two people dead and two others blind in Muzaffarpur hooch tragedy; five-year-old child dies in Jajpur after receiving injection from physician
A hooch tragedy on Sunday in the parched Bihar district of Muzaffarpur left at least two people dead and two others blind.
As the police and district administration went door-to-door looking for persons who had been unwell after consuming illegal alcohol, the number of affected people could grow even more.
The event happened in the Kazi Mohammadpur police station's Pokhariya Pir neighborhood. Umesh Sah, 50, and Pappu Ram, 32, have been named as the deceased, while Dharmendra Kumar and Raju Sah lost their vision after ingesting phony alcohol.
All those who were harmed had drank local booze on Friday and Saturday. After drinking for a few hours, they began to experience nausea, headaches, stomachaches, dizziness, breathing difficulties, and deteriorating vision. On Sunday morning, two of them passed away.
The families of the victims claimed that their loved ones had purchased alcohol from a local ice plant that was actually a front for selling alcohol.
"We learned that two people died in strange circumstances and that two more people were ill in Ambedkar Colony at Pokhariya Pir. Locals have suggested that the deaths could have been caused by illegal, fake alcohol, according to preliminary investigations, said Muzaffarpur SSP Rakesh Kumar.
Shiv Chandra Paswan has been named by police officers for peddling fake alcohol. He is running away.
Minor dies, and hospital is vandalized
In the Jajpur district of Odisha on Sunday, a five-year-old child passed away after receiving an injection from a physician, according to Bhubaneswar.
The villagers, incensed over the killing, raided the hospital and burned numerous crucial documents.
About 110 kilometers away, in the Jajpur district, at the Bari Community Health Center, the incident happened on Sunday. The injection was given by an Ayush physician to the young girl who had a fever. The infant reportedly started vomiting five minutes after receiving an antibiotic shot to lower the fever, and afterwards relapsed.
