Indore Excise Department seizes 55 lakh rupees worth illegal liquor in crackdown

The Excise Department in Indore, Madhya Pradesh has seized hundreds of cartons of illegal liquor worth approximately Rs 55 lakh in a major crackdown in the Bypass area. The operation was carried out under Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav's zero-tolerance policy against illegal liquor, on the directions of Collector Shivam Verma.

The Excise Department team recovered the liquor, manufactured in Haryana, during the inspection of a container. The seized alcohol and the container have been taken into custody.

Preliminary investigations suggest the possibility of uncovering a syndicate involved in inter-state illegal transportation and smuggling of liquor. The department is conducting a detailed probe into the source and destination of the liquor as well as other individuals connected to this network.

A case has been registered in the matter and further action is underway.
