A team of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Tuesday arrived in Bihar's Patna to probe the hooch tragedy.
After the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) team arrived in Bihar to probe the hooch tragedy, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday alleged that the rights panel visit is propaganda by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Centre to defame the state government.
"It is propaganda to defame state government. NCRB report was presented in Parliament. Why did not team go to Madhya Pradesh and Haryana? Where were these people four months ago when BJP was in power? It should be asked if they have come here or have been sent," Tejashwi Yadav told reporters.

The NHRC team is comprised of nine members who will investigate the tragic incident reported last week from Bihar's Saran district in which over 60 people were killed due to consuming spurious liquor at a local joint. After the deaths, angry villagers blocked the Masrakh Hanuman Chowk on Bihar State Highway 90 and raised slogans against the district administration.
