Seven died in Bihar from suspected fake alcohol, prompting a swift investigation despite prior cremations.

Seven people died in Bihar's West Champaran district, suspected to be from consuming spurious liquor, though police say at least two deaths were not related to alcohol. The first death occurred on January 15, but authorities were only informed on Sunday. An investigation is underway to submit a report within 24 hours, despite all bodies being cremated before the inquiry began. Bihar has banned alcohol since 2016.
