According to the police, the accused, identified as Laduram Khiyaram Bishnoi, 42, a resident of Barmer, Rajasthan, was arrested on Saturday after police intercepted a tanker allegedly transporting a large consignment of liquor without a valid permit. Acting on a tip-off, a joint team from Neral Police Station laid a trap at around 10:15 pm on Saturday. Police intercepted a tanker and, upon inspection, discovered a large stock of liquor concealed inside. The tanker, valued at Rs.29 lakh, was seized along with the contraband. The seized stock included 5,160 bottles of Evergreen Reserve Whisky worth Rs.41.28 lakh, 2,141 bottles of Mobi Vodka Orange worth Rs.15.03 lakh, and 2,280 bottles of Mobi Vodka Green Apple worth Rs.15.96 lakh. The total value of the liquor is estimated at Rs.72.27 lakh. Raigad superintendent of police Anchal Dalal said the seizure points to a suspected inter-state smuggling route. The consignment originated in Goa and was being transported through Maharashtra, possibly towards Gujarat or other dry or high-tax states, where such liquor fetches higher prices in the black market....
