Water tanker carrying 10,000 liquor bottles seized in Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur
The enforcement authorities in Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur have seized at least 10,000 bottles of illegal liquor from a water tanker. The water tanker carrying illegal liquor was seized at Munagodu Mandal in Amaravati region of Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Special Enforcement Bureau seized around 10,000 illegal bottles in the water tanker and arrested eight men involved in the supply of illegal liquor to other areas from Andhra Pradesh. The liquor was illegally being transported from Hyderabad to Amaravati.
The seizure of 10,000 liquor bottles is one of the largest to date. The Andhra Pradesh government has been taking all the precautionary steps to stop the illegal trade.
Even after the government slashed the prices of cheap liquor, it has not brought any visible impact on the rampant liquor smuggling.
Since liquor outlets reopened and a sharp 75 per cent increase in the prices, smugglers have been using trucks, carts, tractors, boats, water tankers, gas cylinders to smuggle liquor in the state from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Odisha, and Telangana.
