Sonepat Police Seize 202 Boxes of Illegal Chandigarh Brand Liquor, One Arrested

Sonipat : In a major crackdown on illegal liquor trade, the Sonepat police seized 202 boxes of Chandigarh-branded liquor during a raid on a suspected storage site. The liquor, which was being prepared for distribution across Haryana, was confiscated in a well-coordinated operation. Authorities have arrested one individual in connection with the illegal liquor trade, and further investigations are underway to uncover the full network involved in the distribution.

The seizure of such a large quantity of alcohol is a significant blow to the illegal liquor trade in Haryana, a state that has been grappling with the growing issue of illicit liquor supply. The police acted on a tip-off and raided the location where the liquor was being stored. The operation was executed with precision, and officials confirmed that the seized liquor had been sourced from unauthorized channels, violating state liquor laws.

The arrested individual is believed to be a part of a larger network that has been involved in the illegal manufacture and distribution of alcohol across various districts in the state. During interrogation, the individual admitted that the liquor was meant to be sold in different regions of Haryana, targeting both rural and urban markets.

This operation comes as part of a broader effort by the Haryana Police to clamp down on the illegal liquor trade, which has raised public health concerns and fueled organized crime. Authorities have vowed to intensify their efforts to prevent the production and sale of illicit liquor, which is often sold at lower prices, posing serious health risks to consumers.

The police are working closely with the excise department and other law enforcement agencies to identify the key players involved and prevent further illegal liquor distribution. The successful raid in Sonepat is being seen as a major step towards curbing the underground alcohol trade, which has plagued the state for years.

Authorities have urged the public to report any suspicious activities related to illegal liquor, emphasizing that such actions can lead to severe penalties for offenders and help protect the community’s well-being.
