In a major crackdown on illegal liquor trade operating inside upscale residential areas, Gurugram Police and the Excise Department raided a flat in Sector 31 and seized 292 bottles of illegal foreign liquor allegedly stocked for commercial supply, officials said on Saturday.

The raid was carried out at Navketan Apartment Society in Sector 31, where police arrested accused Vikram, a resident of Sector 31, after recovering a large cache of expensive liquor brands hidden inside rooms and cupboards of a first-floor flat.

According to the police, the operation was launched following a tip-off received by the Excise Department about illegal storage and suspected supply of liquor from the apartment. A joint team of the Excise Department and Sector-40 police station conducted the raid and recovered the liquor stock from the flat.
