Delhi: Smuggling racket of costly liquor busted
NEW DELHI: Police have busted a racket of smuggling scotch and expensive liquor from low-taxed states to high-taxed states. A bus was hired for the purpose. Cops seized whisky worth Rs 1.5 lakh.
Anto Alphonse, DCP, north, said, “On January 5, constables Kapil and Shrikant were on patrolling duty. They went to Gokhle Market in Tis Hazari where Shyam Soni, manager of a travel company, was loading parcels in a bus. The cops asked Soni about the contents of the parcels, but he could not give any satisfactory answer.
The officers then opened the parcels and liquor bottles were found inside. The whisky was being smuggled to Madhya Pradesh as there is very high excise duty on liquor in the state as compared to Delhi and Haryana.”
