SASARAM: A probe has been launched following reports of at least five deaths among attendees of a wedding function on Feb 14 in Bihar’s Rohtas district. A team from the excise department and district officials have reached Mathiya village.
According to sources, a day after Poojan Singh organised a “tilak” ceremony for his son, his other son fell ill and died. Four relatives also died within three days. Speculation soon spread linking the deaths to alleged consumption of liquor.
Unverified reports also suggest two cooks died after returning home, though there was no official confirmation.
