Sheikhpura (Bihar): Even as Bihar CM conducted his ‘grand illusion’ of having a human chain eleven thousand kilometres long in orchestrated ‘support’ of his draconian anti-prohibition law, juvenile courts are having to deal with a new breed of underage bootleggers and hooch makers!

A juvenile court  directed an underage youth, caught for running liquor trade, to impart tuition to students in a Dalit area and then serve patients in a hospital in Sheikhpura district (Jan 21).

A three-member juvenile court, headed by Judicial Magistrate Jigar Sah, ordered the minor to give tuition to poor students in the Dalit area for three months.

After this period, the youth was directed to render services in physiotherapy ward of Sadar hospital.

The under-18, whose name was not given, was convicted for illegally running a country liquor manufacturing unit despite total prohibition in the state since April last year.

Additional Public Prosecutor A K Dubey said police had recently busted an illegal liquor manufacturing unit under Ariyari police station of the district and during investigation came across the unit run by the juvenile.
