Amarjeet Yadav came home drunk on Thursday night. According to Soni Kumari, his neighbor, he grew agitated overnight and was brought to the hospital the next morning, when he passed away. She said that her husband started to feel ill and lost his vision after drinking with Amarjeet.

Umesh Rai, another victim, claimed to have spent Rs 50 on alcohol the day before. He had eyesight issues and vomited after eating it. After being brought to Sadar Hospital, he was sent to Patna Medical College Hospital (PMCH) for more care.

This tragedy comes after 48 people perished in the Bhagwanpur and Mashrakh villages of Siwan and Chhapra in October as a result of drinking poisonous whiskey. Panic swept the state as a result of the serious health issues that many others experienced, including blindness.

The creation of raw or counterfeit liquor, which may include dangerous substances, is often associated with the problem of hazardous alcohol. Illicit liquor may include harmful ingredients like methyl alcohol, in contrast to government-approved liquor, which is distilled at certain temperatures to create safe ethyl alcohol. Methyl is especially dangerous since it may harm the brain and eyes, and consuming it can cause blindness or even death.
