Class 4 student comes home drunk; 23 liquor cartons seized from Bihar govt. school toilet

A Class 4 student in Begusarai, Bihar was found intoxicated and consuming illicit liquor from a dilapidated school toilet. Police seized 23 cartons containing 204 liters of the illegal alcohol after the student's family reported his disorientation. The incident comes amid ongoing concerns about the continued smuggling of illicit liquor into the state despite a decade-long prohibition policy. Tejashwi Yadav, leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, has criticized the government's handling of the issue, alleging institutional corruption and ineffective enforcement.
