Bihar police have written to the state government to seize the properties of liquor mafia dons following the deaths of more than 50 people, mostly the poor, from illicit liquor in various regions across the state. The process, which has chief minister Nitish Kumar’s approval, has been launched to confiscate the properties of over half a dozen mafia dons, including three in Muzaffarpur district. ‘The police headquarters has sent its proposal to the government,’ Bihar police chief Abhyanand said. He said it was a part of the plan to hit those involved in hooch tragedies. Among those being targeted are three Muzaffarpur-based men, including Vishwanath Shah, Gaya’s Yadav and Bhojpur’s Sanjay Singh.
