What’s inside:
This article talks about the ongoing battle between the police and liquor smugglers in Muzaffarpur, where recent raids led to significant liquor seizures.
In Muzaffarpur, the police and excise department are working hard to enforce the ban on alcohol, but liquor smugglers are getting clever. Recently, they used a well-known courier service vehicle to transport foreign liquor, thinking it would help them avoid police scrutiny.
The first major raid happened near a hotel in the Beniabad police station area. When officials checked the courier vehicle parked there, they found a large stash of foreign liquor hidden among parcels. The smugglers believed they wouldn’t be caught since it was a courier service, but the police were already tipped off.
Following this, two more operations took place in the Fakuli and Turki police station areas. A pickup van was stopped in Fakuli, and a luxury car was seized in Turki. Both vehicles were found carrying significant amounts of foreign liquor, showing that smugglers are trying to blend in with ordinary travelers to avoid attention.
So far, the excise department has confiscated 85 cartons of foreign liquor from these three raids. The driver of the pickup van has been arrested and is currently being questioned to uncover the wider network of smugglers and the main players behind the liquor supply.
This ongoing situation highlights the cat-and-mouse game between the police and smugglers. The authorities plan to enhance checks at hotels and on suspicious vehicles to break the liquor mafia’s operations in the region.
