According to information received, police had a tip-off about large-scale smuggling of illegal Mahua liquor from areas bordering Jharkhand. Acting on this intelligence, a police team intensified surveillance in the concerned region. During a late-night patrol, police observed three motorcycles approaching in a suspicious manner. These motorcycles were heavily laden with goods, raising suspicions of smuggling.

When signaled to stop, the smugglers accelerated their bikes and attempted to flee. However, the police team pursued them. After a short chase, the smugglers abandoned their motorcycles and escaped into nearby fields under the cover of darkness. Police promptly reached the spot and searched the three bikes, recovering a total of 500 liters of Mahua liquor, which was packed in large plastic containers.
