In a major crackdown ahead of the Holi festival, Delhi Police raided an illegal liquor factory operating in Gokulpuri, seizing 12,000 bottles of spurious alcohol. The raid, conducted based on a tip-off, uncovered a large-scale counterfeit liquor manufacturing operation that was allegedly preparing fake liquor for distribution across various markets in Delhi.

Police Raid Uncovers 12,000 Bottles of Fake Liquor

During the raid, authorities discovered a significant stockpile of illicit liquor, along with approximately 1,900 liters of spirit, various chemicals, and packaging materials used in the production process. The counterfeit liquor bottles were found labeled with "For Sale in Haryana Only", but were being illegally prepared for distribution in Delhi.

Key Seizures During the Operation:

• 12,000 bottles of counterfeit liquor
• 1,900 liters of spirit used in fake alcohol production
• Chemical ingredients and raw materials for liquor processing
• Empty bottles, caps, labels, and QR code stickers to make the fake liquor look authentic

Two Arrested, Factory Owner on the Run

Authorities have arrested two individuals in connection with the illegal liquor operation. The arrested suspects have been identified as:

• Suman (Female)
• Pappu (Male)

Meanwhile, the factory owner remains absconding, and police are actively working to trace and apprehend him.

Illegal Liquor Menace Before Holi

Every year, ahead of major festivals like Holi and Diwali, the demand for alcohol surges, leading to an increase in counterfeit liquor operations. Consuming spurious liquor poses serious health risks, including poisoning and fatalities.

Police Investigation Underway

Delhi Police have intensified their investigation and are working to trace the supply chain of the seized liquor. Authorities are also conducting further raids to dismantle other illegal liquor operations in the city.

Conclusion

The successful bust of this illegal liquor factory before Holi underscores the importance of law enforcement efforts in curbing the menace of counterfeit liquor. With two key suspects arrested and the factory owner still at large, the police continue their efforts to prevent illegal alcohol distribution in Delhi during the festive season.
