Bihar Man Dies, Son Loses Eyesight from Spurious Liquor
A man named Baleshwar Shah died, and his son Bablu Shah lost part of his eyesight after they drank fake alcohol.

After drinking, they felt sick and went to the hospital.
The man's condition got worse, and he died in the hospital.
The police are investigating and have taken the alcohol bottles to check what was in them.

Both were initially admitted to a private hospital, discharged, and later readmitted before Baleshwar Shah's death.
