In a significant crackdown, the Excise Department in Nawada district has seized a large consignment of illicit liquor from a luxury car. Acting on a tip-off, officials intercepted the vehicle and recovered 676 tetra packs of liquor, which were being smuggled into Bihar from Jharkhand. This operation marks a crucial success for the Excise Department, as smugglers are constantly devising new methods to evade detection.

According to excise officials, intelligence indicated that a substantial quantity of illegal liquor was being transported from Jharkhand to Bihar in a luxury car. Following this information, the department intensified vigilance at various entry points in Nawada district. During the heightened surveillance, a suspicious luxury car was stopped and searched. Upon inspection, officers discovered that liquor tetra packs were cleverly concealed within the car's indicators and other hidden compartments.

The seized consignment comprises a total of 676 tetra packs of liquor, with an estimated market value in the thousands. The luxury car used for smuggling has also been impounded. However, no arrests have been reported in connection with this operation as the smugglers managed to flee the scene. Authorities stated that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the culprits.

Since the implementation of prohibition in Bihar, liquor smuggling from Jharkhand and other neighboring states has posed a significant challenge. Smugglers often use luxury vehicles, ambulances, and even disguise consignments as vegetables or other goods. The Excise Department and police are continuously taking action against such smugglers, but the illicit network remains extensive. This incident underscores the sophisticated methods employed by liquor traffickers. The department has reiterated its commitment to continuing its crackdown on liquor smuggling and ensuring that no offenders are spared.
