On the seizure, he said, “We have seized 100 litres of spirit, 172 quarters of spurious liquor, 48 spurious IMFL. In the same raid we have also seized one machine used in packing, 2,800 quarter bottles, wrappers, 2,200 bottle caps and other liquids used in the making,” he added. However, by the time police raided the spot, people involved in this managed to flee from the scene.
“It appears that after the continuous raids of liquor from Haryana via Churu, the local people involved in the crime have set up these factories. Similar raids are likely in coming days,” said a senior officer of Churu. On Monday, early this week the Churu police seized a truck carrying IMFL worth nearly Rs 36 lakh from Ratangarh.
