HYDERABAD: Medchal police intercepted a goods vehicle, which was carrying 1,873 liquor bottles worth Rs 7 lakh in the early hours of Saturday and arrested one person.
Patrolling police found Naresh, who was driving the vehicle, suspicious and stopped his vehicle. He was driving the vehicle from Kompally to Medchal when he was caught.
“Fearing that he may run into cops on the highway, Naresh chose bylanes to transport the stock. We are probing from where did he get such a huge stock and who was supposed to receive it,’’ Medchal inspector Praveen Reddy told STOI.
It is learnt that the stock belongs to a person who was operating an illegal belt shop. “It is being transported, perhaps to sell locally during the extended lockdown,’’ police said.
