illegal liquor consignment

Police in Dumka seized 141 cartons of liquor, containing 6,768 pouches of whisky, allegedly being transported from West Bengal to Bihar. The driver, Lakha Mahto, was arrested near Dani Nath Temple, revealing the consignment belonged to Manoj Kumar Mandal. The liquor was found hidden beneath empty cartons and tarpaulin.

In Bihar, the tough stance on liquor prohibition finds itself in a relentless struggle with liquor smuggling. This has triggered a substantial crackdown with authorities reporting over 9,36,000 cases and the confiscation of vast quantities of illegal spirits

Bihar's liquor ban has only sparked ingenuity among smugglers. They're now disguising alcohol shipments in ambulances, SUVs with secret compartments, even cleverly masked within watermelons and oil tankers. The enforcement agencies face a relentless challenge, yet a bolstered police presence is leading to increased confiscations and ongoing cat-and-mouse games.

Police in Dumka seized a truck containing 8,640 pouches of illegal liquor near Mayurnath on Thursday evening. The driver and cleaner fled after a brief chase. The liquor, marked for sale in Uttar Pradesh, was found hidden under a false platform, suggesting interstate smuggling.

The Special Task Force (Prayagraj unit) on Wednesday claimed to have busted an interstate racket involved in liquor smuggling and arrested its two key operatives near Lucknow-Sultanpur highway and seized illegal liquor consignment worth Rs 70 lakh from them.
