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.
