Accused allegedly sold rectified spirit to a ‘desi liquor distilling racket’ in Sendhwa region in Barwani in Madhya Pradesh
The police team probing the theft of rectified spirit from the State-owned Travancore Sugars and Chemicals Limited in Thiruvalla will soon be leaving for Madhya Pradesh to trace the routes through which the material was illegally diverted. Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused had sold the rectified spirit to a ‘desi liquor distilling racket’, which operates in and around the Sendhwa region in Barwani district. “The accused, however, do not seem to possess any vital information about this racket other than just a contact number. Against this backdrop, a police team will soon be leaving for the location to track down the details including that actual quantity of spirit sourced through the accused,” said Biju.V. Nair, Station House Officer, Pulikeezhu, who leads the investigation.More Related News
