An abandoned car… a missing driver…cartons full of liquor…and believe it or not, this scene was from Bihar- a dry state. A chaotic scene erupted in Bihar’s Siwan when a driver, who was reportedly suspected of running over commuters, fled the scene and left the car in the middle of a busy street yesterday, October 30. Suspecting further, people quickly began to gather around the vehicle but found something different altogether. The car reportedly had liquor in it, which drove the people crazy as they left everything and started looting the bottles using whatever they had to keep the bottles in. The high-speeding vehicle was coming from the Janata Bazar area, while the driver abandoned it in Maharajganj’s Sikatia Bazar, according to the reports. The entire thing took place hastily as looters reportedly wanted to steal the bottles before the police’s arrival. A video of the aftermath of the vehicle being abandoned was shared on the internet, which instantly went viral and gained a lot of negative attention. 

The video was shared on the social media site X (formerly Twitter) by the user ‘Yogesh Sahu’. The post was captioned, “Liquor looted in Siwan.”
