JAMSHEDPUR – The Excise Department seized 234 liters of English liquor from a closed quarter in Agrico Workers Flat in Sidhgora on Monday.

Excise Commissioner Vimla Lakra revealed that 26 boxes of English liquor, meant for sale in Arunachal Pradesh, were stored in the locked 128 number quarter of the Workers Flat.

Upon receiving a tip-off, the Excise Department team confiscated the liquor.

Ten days prior, Tata Steel UISL (formerly Jusco) had evicted illegal occupants and sealed the quarter.

However, three days ago, a security guard noticed that the lock had been changed, prompting him to inform the Sidhgora police station.

When the police broke the lock and entered the house, they found liquor boxes stored in one room.

Neighbors were unaware of who had broken the lock and stored the liquor boxes.

The police are currently investigating the case, and the Excise Department has filed a case against unknown persons.
