A skirmish erupted at Katihar railway station on Friday, leaving a constable injured, as Excise & Prohibition Department officials clashed with GRP personnel during a liquor raid.
The prohibition team accused GRP officials of obstructing their operation, while GRP cited a misunderstanding as the cause. This friction stemmed from Excise team members donning plain clothes and not notifying railway officials about their operation.
Both sides are actively investigating. Bihar maintains a stringent liquor ban, adding context to the miscommunication.
