SEB seizes NDPL worth Rs 7 crore since inception
VIJAYAWADA: Despite partial curfew restrictions in place in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and increasing vigil at all check-posts, illegal transportation and smuggling of Non-Duty Paid Liquor (NDPL) seems to be continuing unabated for the past few months. More than 6,000 cases were filed against illegal liquor smuggling, three lakh bottles of NDPL worth around Rs 7 crore and around 3,500 vehicles were seized this year after the formation of SEB under the amended Prohibition and Excise Act, which is now in force in Andhra Pradesh as a part of government’s policy towards total alcohol prohibition.
The Krishna police have seized around 2,400 bottles of liquor from other States transported from Telangana to sell them in the black market at two places on Saturday. In the first incident, Hanuman Junction police raided a house and seized 838 bottles of NDPL from a person and arrested him. The police have raided the house followingff a tip-off that the accused was procuring liquor from Telangana via G Kondur and selling the same at higher prices.
