Patna, Oct 16 (IANS) In the wake of the Saran and Siwan hooch tragedies, the Saran Police in Bihar have constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the incident.

The incident, which took place in Brahimpur village under the jurisdiction of Mashrakh police station on Tuesday, has led to allegations of negligence against the police officers involved.

Meanwhile, in the adjoining Siwan district, four individuals have lost their lives in the alleged hooch tragedies in the last 24 hours. Besides them, eight individuals were admitted in Sadar Hospital Siwan and three were referred to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) for advanced treatment.
