Even as Prohibition and Excise (P&E) Police and Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) officials make tall claims of tightening security at border checkposts, Non-Duty Paid Liquor (NDPL) continues to flow into the State with smugglers making good money by procuring it from neighbouring States.
Police said smugglers are importing stocks through trains and on goods vehicles and are selling the liquor in wholesale and retail to the customers.
“The smugglers are stocking the liquor at godowns in villages and are selling the stocks to their customers at three to four times the price for which they buy it in other States,” investigating officers said.
