In the recent past, 12 bottles of Indian made foreign liquor (IMFL) were recovered from the government primary school at Pramod Nagar by Cherki police following a tip-off. This has sparked massive protest in Bihar’s Gaya district. The police arrested four school teachers, but set them free after a few hours.
