Anger over alleged deaths due to alcohol consumption led women in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi district to stage a dramatic protest. A group of women reportedly stormed into a liquor shop in Narayanpur village and threw bottles on the road (liquor stocks worth lakhs of rupees were destroyed).
The incident occurred in Narayanpur (under Gursarai police station of Jhansi district). The women were reportedly angry over allegations that many people had died after drinking alcohol and so they started protesting against the liquor shop. They entered the shop and removed bottles of liquor from it.
In a dramatic protest, the women emptied the bottles and poured alcohol on the road. Liquor stock worth lakhs of rupees was destroyed in the incident. Videos of the protest have since gone viral. Women were seen venting their anger and continuing with their protest in front of the shop.
Police Present During the Protest
The incident was also noteworthy because police were reportedly at the location when the protest took place. But as far as is known from the account available, they “couldn’t stop the women” as the situation unfolded.
Video of the scene reportedly shows police nearby as the women continued to pour liquor down the road. The footage has led people to question what exactly happened in the protest and how local authorities responded.
झांसी में जहरीली शराब से मौतों के आरोप के बाद फूटा महिलाओं का गुस्सा! आरोप है कि शराब पीने से कई लोगों की मौत के बाद आक्रोशित महिलाओं ने शराब ठेके पर धावा बोल दिया। लाखों रुपये की शराब सड़क पर फेंककर नष्ट कर दी। मौके पर मौजूद पुलिसकर्मी भी महिलाओं के गुस्से के सामने बेबस नजर आए। https://t.co/cRPMT9Ej7u

The anger was apparently over deaths allegedly caused by alcohol consumption. That kind of thing usually causes outrage in communities where people believe unsafe liquor has put lives at risk (sale or consumption).
Allegations Behind the Protest
The protest in Narayanpur makes it clear that allegations of deaths due to alcohol are serious, but how many people died, under what circumstances, and whether the liquor sold at the shop was involved in these cases have not been independently established from information available so far.
Authorities will need to investigate the allegations and see if there was any connection between the liquor shop and the deaths; what role the shop played, where it got its liquor from and how good it was; why the women staged their protest. All these things need clarifying.
The incident has reignited concerns about alcohol safety and how suspected unsafe liquor affects local communities. We await further details of the police investigation and any official action following the destruction of the stock.
The women’s protest shows the anger over the alleged deaths but the claims need to be established in an official investigation.
