ERODE The district police have arrested 214 persons involved in the smuggling of liquor and brewing illicit arrack from June 7 to 17. Since Tasmac shops were closed during the lockdown in the district, there are many incidents of liquor bottles being smuggled in vehicles from Karnataka to the State through Talavadi, Kadambur and Bargur. Hence, the Prohibition Enforcement Wing (PEW) and the district police conducted vehicle checks round-the-clock and also raided many places to check brewing of illicit arrack. Superintendent of Police V. Sasi Mohan said that a total of 216 cases were registered for smuggling liquor bottles, sale of toddy and arrack in the district in 10 days.More Related News
