Drunk in the evening, lost eyesight at night… death
A relative of the deceased Lakshandev Ram told that when he got up for his routine before morning, slippers were not available. When the family members asked on calling, they told that they are not visible. Due to the deaths due to spurious liquor, we asked if he had consumed liquor somewhere, then he should tell that he had come from somewhere after drinking liquor on Sunday evening. Couldn’t tell where they came from. Within a short time, his health started deteriorating, so he was taken to the nearby government hospital, then from there he was brought to Sadar Hospital. Here too he could not be saved.
