A police constable who in a drunken state killed three people and injured five sparking violence in a Bihar district has been dismissed from service.

A police constable who in a drunken state killed three people and injured five sparking violence in a Bihar district has been dismissed from service.

Chief Minister Rabri Devi ordered the removal of Dinanath Tiwari, the constable in Begusarai district who fired Thursday night when he was stopped from molesting a widow.

He has been removed from service under a constitutional provision, which allows the government to dismiss an employee without conducting proceedings, a police official said.

But angry people, who had retaliated by burning down a police station, are still on the streets demanding action against him.

A dawn-to-dusk strike against the killings was called by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the district. Business establishments, schools and colleges remained closed and minimal traffic plied on the streets.

The Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India-Marxist also took out a protest march in Begusarai.
