Four youths were found dead in Patna, prompting the Bihar police to launch an investigation into whether the deaths were caused by toxic alcohol or deliberate poisoning.
Patna police have opened a formal inquiry after four young men were discovered dead at a single location in the city. Investigators are examining two primary scenarios: the consumption of contaminated alcoholic liquor or the possibility that the victims were deliberately poisoned.
Preliminary forensic work has yet to confirm the presence of any toxins, and the police have not ruled out either hypothesis. The case has drawn public attention due to the simultaneous nature of the deaths and the lingering question of whether a criminal act was involved.
Authorities have sealed the site and are collecting evidence, including any remaining bottles, personal belongings, and witness statements. The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward.
