Rats in Bihar are in high spirits — or so the state Police insist. Rodents are believed to have finished off more than 9 lakh litres of alcohol which the police had seized from people flouting prohibition laws in the state.
The issue came up after the media reported that the seized bottles of liquor were missing from police station ‘malkhanas’ (stores).
At a recent meeting of the state police, it was said that some of the seized bottles had been destroyed, and what was left was finished off in the stores by liquor-loving rats.
“We have asked the Patna zonal IG to inquire into the matter. Based on his findings, the state police headquarters will initiate further action,” Additional Director General of Police (Headquarters) S K Singhal said on Thursday.
