In the footage, she is seen giving her husband a rose before serving him a glass of wine and handing him a bottle of liquor.

A “Rose Day" celebration in Bihar’s Munger district landed a woman and her husband in legal trouble after videos showing alcohol- despite the state’s strict liquor ban- went viral on social media.

The woman, Kanchan Devi, posted the video herself on Instagram and Facebook. In the footage, she is seen giving her husband a rose before serving him a glass of wine and handing him a bottle of liquor. While her husband is seen smiling in the video, the post sparked a social media debate given Bihar’s prohibition laws, which have been in effect since 2016.

Kanchan’s legal troubles deepened when a separate photo surfaced showing her posing with a pistol inside a beauty parlour. Munger Superintendent of Police (SP) Syed Imran Masood confirmed that a special team was formed to investigate the matter as soon as the images gained traction online. Police subsequently raided the woman’s home.

The investigation revealed that the pistol in the photo is a licensed weapon belonging to Vishal Kumar, a resident of Deendayal Chowk. While the weapon itself is legal, allowing an unauthorized person to pose with it for social media is a violation of the law.

Police have now registered a case against both Kanchan Devi and the weapon’s owner, Vishal Kumar.

SP Masood said that the public display of weapons and the promotion of banned substances like alcohol are serious offences.

“Authorities are currently conducting a thorough investigation and preparing further legal action," he said.

Bihar implemented a total prohibition on the sale and consumption of alcohol in April 2016. The state has strict penalties for violations, including imprisonment and fines. The law also holds those who promote or display alcohol publicly accountable, even on social media platforms.
