Chandigarh: The Punjab Excise Ministry on Wednesday broke the “organized module” that sells scotches of imports smuggled without a hologram in the Amritsar district and seized 2,150 cases of illegal liquor.
Excise Commissioner Rajat Agarwal said that the excise department once again tightened the snare on the people involved in smuggling and selling liquor that was not paid in Punjab.
Secret information is accepted that some people are involved in the sale of bribes and not on-duty paid scotches brands and imported beers in Amritsar and adjacent areas avoid customs and levies, which cause a large loss of the country.
Acting on a tip-off, the Excise Ministry Special Operations Group team swung actions and discovered the alleged people involved in trade.
It came to note that the people accused of establishing two illegal warehouses in Amritsar where a large number of expensive imports were stored illegally and the defendants had ownership in the liquor business in several groups in Amritsar.
The large amount of liquor was found without a hologram.
Liquor is smuggled from Chandigarh which has a chandigarh hologram also found from the warehouse.
Some cases of liquor have a punjab state hologram inserted through the Chandigarh hologram, which shows that the defendant even smuggled liquor from Chandigarh and tried to attach the hologram punjab on it to make it look like the Paid for Paid Customs.
This liquor is allegedly sold through the Bootleggers network or to the wedding palace and the bar, causing state losses.
Several teams were called from other districts to take godown stocks and a comprehensive examination of the restored shares carried out by the team.
Stock of similar import liquor found.
Some stocks at the bar without a hologram and some stock of liquor from Chandigarh were also found in one bar.
