A shocking viral video from Masaurhi jail in Bihar has exposed a blatant failure of law enforcement and governance, showing prisoners openly indulging in a liquor and ganja party inside the jail premises. This disturbing footage not only humiliates the Bihar government but also confirms that the Bihar jail has become a den of debauchery, where illegal substances flow freely despite the state’s strict liquor ban.
Bihar Government’s Failed Governance on Full Display
Bihar’s much-touted liquor prohibition policy, hailed as a social reform, stands completely discredited when prisoners inside a high-security jail are seen drinking alcohol and smoking ganja without any fear of repercussions. How did bottles of liquor and banned substances enter a supposedly secure facility? The viral video raises serious questions about the complicity or gross negligence of jail authorities and the state government’s inability to enforce law and order even behind prison walls.
The video shows inmates openly flaunting bottles of liquor, smoking ganja, and even recording themselves on mobile phones—another forbidden item inside jails. This is not just a breach of jail discipline; it is a direct challenge to the authority of the Bihar government and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s administration, which has repeatedly claimed to maintain strict control over law and order.
A Den of Debauchery: The Reality Behind Bihar’s Jail Walls
The Masaurhi jail incident is symptomatic of a larger rot within Bihar’s prison system. Reports of illegal supply of ganja, liquor, and mobile phones inside jails have surfaced repeatedly, indicating an organized network of smuggling and corruption involving jail staff and possibly political patronage. The jail has effectively become a playground for criminals to indulge in debauchery rather than a place for reform and punishment.

This scandal exposes the hollow claims of the Bihar government about its governance and law enforcement capabilities. If prisoners can hold liquor and ganja parties inside jail, what hope do ordinary citizens have for safety and justice outside? The government’s failure here is not just administrative but a betrayal of public trust.
Demand for Accountability and Immediate Action
The Bihar government must answer how such a blatant violation of jail security could occur. The jail superintendent and officials responsible for security should be held accountable immediately. A thorough and transparent investigation must be conducted to dismantle the criminal networks operating inside jails.
Moreover, this incident should prompt the state government to rethink its entire approach to law enforcement and prison management. Without strict oversight and zero tolerance for corruption, Bihar’s jails will continue to be dens of debauchery, undermining the rule of law and social order.
The viral footage of the liquor and ganja party inside Masaurhi jail is a damning indictment of the Bihar government’s failure to maintain law and order. Bihar jail has become a den of debauchery, exposing systemic corruption and administrative apathy. The government must act decisively or risk losing all credibility on law enforcement.
