Liquor haul at Bihar border
STATE DIGEST: Protest against changes in labour laws and farm bill; zero tolerance to illegal mining in Bokaro; Bihar residents arrested for smuggling liquor.
Harihurganj police in Palamau recovered and seized a huge consignment of liquour near the Bihar border on Thursday. The consignment had thousands of bottles of alcohol which was being smuggled to Bihar.
Police have stepped up border checks before the Bihar Assembly elections. SDPO Shambhu Kumar Singh said as the election gets nearer, smuggling of illicit wine will be rampant which they are determined to foil.
Singh said along with the illicit wine police have recovered a huge consignment of government rice meant for the public distribution through PDS shops.
The wine and government rice were clandestinely stocked in a godown owned by Umesh Sao, a mukhiya and PDS shop owner.
Singh said Sao who is absconding will face criminal charges under essential commodities act. Sao will also be charged for stocking illicit wine with the purpose of inter state smuggling.
