Despite the liquor ban in Bihar, the illegal trade of alcohol continues unabated. In a recent incident in Sonhan, a significant quantity of English liquor was seized from a house. Acting on a tip-off, the police recovered 25.355 liters of English liquor and arrested one individual in connection with the case.

According to police sources, they received confidential information regarding the illegal storage of liquor in a house in Sonhan. Promptly responding to the tip, a police team raided the premises. During the raid, officers discovered 25.355 liters of English liquor hidden inside the house, which was subsequently confiscated. An accused person was also apprehended at the scene. Interrogation of the arrested individual is underway to identify others involved in this illicit business.

This incident once again highlights the ongoing challenges in effectively implementing the liquor ban in the state. While the police and administration are continuously conducting campaigns to curb illegal liquor smuggling and sales, traffickers are employing new methods to continue their operations. The police stated that the value of the seized liquor is being assessed, and a case has been registered against the accused under relevant sections for further legal action. Such actions are expected to create a deterrent effect among illegal liquor traders and contribute to the success of the prohibition.
