Teachers drink inside Bihar govt school, video goes viral
Sources said the video was from Sareya Naveen Upgraded Middle School in Madhuban, about 165km north of state capital Patna, and shot about a week ago.
A video of three people, purported to be teachers of a government school, drinking inside a classroom in East Champaran district in the dry state of Bihar has gone viral on social media.
Sources said the video was from Sareya Naveen Upgraded Middle School in Madhuban, about 165km north of state capital Patna, and shot about a week ago.
The matter, however, came to light on Wednesday after the video was shared repeatedly on social media.
In the clip, the three men said to be Gajendra Baitha, Satyendra Chaudhary and Abhay Singh are seen drinking and partying inside a classroom.
“The video was filmed from the window of the classroom when some villagers got the winds of a party which was on,” a local said.
Hindustan Times could not independently verify its authenticity.
“We have come to know about the viral video. We will investigate into the matter and appropriate action would be taken accordingly,” Madhuban’s block education officer (BEO), Umesh Kumar Singh, said when contacted.
The sale and consumption of liquor have been completely banned in Bihar by the Nitish Kumar government.
