In Shivpuri district’s Karera area, the police achieved a significant success against illegal liquor trafficking. On Saturday, Karera police seized 110 crates of illegal liquor and arrested four smugglers. During the operation, a loading vehicle and a Scorpio SUV were also confiscated.

 

SDOP Shivnarayan Mukati informed that the action was carried out under the directions of SP Aman Singh Rathore. Following a tip-off from an informer, Karera TI Vinod Chawai began monitoring two vehicles carrying illegal liquor heading towards Karera.

During checking at the canal bridge near Sheetla Mata Temple, 85 crates of Bold Company beer and 7 crates of country-made liquor were recovered from the loading vehicle.
