Bihar: High voltage drama at Begusarai hospital as drunken duo causes chaos [Video]
Begusarai, Bihar: Despite the official prohibition on alcohol in Bihar, the rampant availability of liquor was starkly highlighted by a chaotic incident at Begusarai Sadar Hospital. Two inebriated men created a scene, challenging the efficacy of the state's prohibition laws and exposing the ongoing trade in illicit substances.
The incident unfolded when two heavily intoxicated men, identified as Mohammad Hayas and MD Akram from Dumri village in the Singhaul police station area, were brought to the hospital. The men were initially stopped by the police during a routine vehicle check in the Ratanpur police station area. Suspecting their drunken state, the police detained them and sent them to Begusarai Sadar Hospital for a medical test.
At the hospital, the two men caused a commotion, engaging in loud arguments and high-voltage drama for hours. Their behavior attracted significant attention and became the talk of the hospital. Eyewitnesses were both amused and alarmed by the men's brazen admissions and defiant attitudes.
One of the men, unabashed by the situation, loudly declared, "Yes, I am a drunkard. I drink whenever I get alcohol. In Begusarai, alcohol is available everywhere. If I reveal the places, the liquor mafia will kill me. Give me any punishment you want."
This incident starkly illustrated the widespread availability of alcohol in Begusarai despite the prohibition. It also highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in curbing the illegal alcohol trade. The dramatic display at the hospital spurred discussions among onlookers, with many questioning the effectiveness of the state's prohibition policy.
The police faced considerable difficulty in calming the situation, as the drunken men continued to draw attention and disrupt the hospital's operations. Eventually, the police managed to control the situation and took the necessary steps to handle the intoxicated individuals.
This episode not only underscores the persistent issues with alcohol availability in Bihar but also raises serious questions about the implementation and enforcement of prohibition laws. As the state grapples with these challenges, incidents like these serve as a reminder of the work still needed to achieve true prohibition compliance.
