A Class 4 student in Siswa, Begusarai, Bihar, returned home drunk on Monday after consuming illicit liquor stored in a dilapidated school toilet. Police seized 23 cartons containing 204 litres of the liquor from the site. The incident occurred nearly a week after a suspected hooch tragedy in Motihari.

A day after Bihar's prohibition policy marked 10 years, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav criticised the state government on April 6, 2026. He termed it Nitish Kumar's biggest institutional corruption, alleging a parallel illegal liquor economy worth nearly ₹40,000 crore. Yadav claimed an alliance between the government and liquor mafia has undermined the law.
