Every household in a village in India has been fined by the district magistrate for violating a new alcohol ban.
All 50 households in Kailashpuri in Bihar state have been ordered to pay 5,000 rupees (£58) as a collective fine following the recovery of liquor bottles in the village.
It is believed to be the first case of collective punishment since a strict alcohol prohibition law came into force in the North Indian state in April.
