Arun Kumar Prasad, an accused in a liquor-related case, has been arrested in the Harsiddhi police station area of East Champaran district. Harsiddhi police apprehended him on Monday following a raid based on confidential information. After his arrest, Prasad was presented before the honorable court and subsequently sent to judicial custody.

Arun Kumar Prasad, son of Rajaram Prasad from Dudhahi village, was wanted in case number 227/24, dated April 25, 2024. Harsiddhi Station House Officer (SHO) Sunil Kumar stated that illegal liquor traders would not be spared at any cost. He added that continuous raids are being conducted by the police to arrest all identified liquor smugglers.

SHO Kumar further mentioned that this special campaign against liquor smugglers has caused a stir among illegal traders. The police are conducting daily intensive search operations in major markets, sensitive intersections, and suspicious locations within Harsiddhi. Police teams are active day and night, yielding positive results. Smugglers who previously moved freely through main routes are now forced to hide due to fear of the police. This vigilance has effectively curbed illegal activities, and crowds of anti-social elements and drinkers in public places are now completely disappearing. The police are continuing further legal action.
