Policeman, milkman caught smuggling liquor
An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) with the Delhi Police and a milkman from Uttar Pradesh were arrested for allegedly smuggling liquor into the city during the lockdown period when liquor and wine shops have been shut, the police said on Monday.
The police officer, Jangjeet, who is posted in the Paschim Vihar police station, was off duty when he was caught carrying 29 boxes, containing 1,432 bottles of liquor, in his car in outer Delhi’s Nangloi on Sunday morning. The ASI has been suspected and a departmental enquiry has been initiated against him, said Delhi Police spokesperson Anil Mittal.
Deputy commissioner of police (outer) A Koan said that on Sunday morning, the Nangloi police received information that a car was transporting Haryana-made illicit liquor through Rohtak Road.
“Accordingly, barricades were put near Surajmal Stadium and we started checking vehicles. At around 6.45am, the checking of one car led to the recovery of 29 boxes containing 1,432 quarter bottles of liquor. The driver, Jangjeet, was arrested under sections 33, 38 and 58 of the Delhi Excise Act,” said the DCP
