Ara Additional District and Sessions Judge R.C. Diwedi on Tuesday pronounced all 15 accused guilty.
In 2012, four years before the imposition of total prohibition in Bihar, 21 Dalits had died after consuming spurious liquor in Anaitha village of Ara.
The deaths had sparked widespread protests in Bhojpur, with hundreds of students blocking roads and the then opposition Bharatiya Janata Party leaders blaming the state government.
