INDIA-POLITICS-CRIME
In this photograph taken on August 20, 2017, an Indian excise department officer at the Bihar-Jharkhand interstate border searches for alcohol in a bus entering Bihar at a checkpoint in Rajauli, 150km south of Patna.
Prem Prakash and his eagle-eyed team cause impatient queues at the border of India's Bihar state where a hard-hitting ban on alcohol has left tens of thousands in jail and caught the eye of leaders in the rest of the country. Every rickshaw, every car, every bus crossing from neighbouring Jharkand gets a thorough once-over at the Rajauli checkpoint from Superintentent Prakash's excise department team. Bihar is a big, poor rough-and-ready state with 100 million people, many of whom enjoyed a tipple until wily Chief Minister Nitish Kumar forced through prohibition in April 2016.
