In a major crackdown on illegal liquor transportation, Vidisha Police in Madhya Pradesh have arrested three people in two separate operations, exposing how vehicles ranging from cars to scooters were allegedly being used to transport liquor illegally. The police seized several boxes of liquor along with the vehicles used for transportation, with the total value of the confiscated property estimated at ₹12.85 lakh.
Liquor Seized From Gujarat-Registered Car
In the first operation, Kurwai Police intercepted a Gujarat-registered car suspected of being involved in illegal liquor transportation. During the search, officers recovered nine boxes containing approximately 81 litres of illegal liquor.
One accused was arrested in connection with the seizure. The car, which was allegedly being used to transport the liquor, was also confiscated by the police.
The use of a vehicle registered in another state has also drawn attention to the methods allegedly adopted for transporting illegal liquor across locations.
Two Arrested While Transporting Liquor on Activa
In a separate operation, Karariya Police caught two people allegedly transporting illegal liquor on an Activa scooter.
During the inspection, police recovered seven boxes of liquor from their possession. Both accused were arrested, and the scooter allegedly used for transportation was seized.
The operation highlighted how smaller two-wheelers can also be used to move illegal liquor and potentially avoid suspicion during transportation.
Police Investigating the Supply Network
Across both operations, police arrested three accused and seized illegal liquor along with the vehicles involved. The total value of the seized property, including the vehicles and liquor, has been estimated at ₹12.85 lakh.
Police are now investigating the alleged supply network to identify the source of the liquor, its intended destinations and whether more people are involved in the illegal trade.
The two operations form part of the ongoing action against illegal liquor transportation in Vidisha district.
