Madhya Pradesh's excise department seized approximately 500 boxes of whisky worth Rs 70 lakh from a truck allegedly headed to Gujarat, a dry state, arresting its driver on Friday. The truck was halted on the Indore bypass late Thursday night due to the driver's inability to present valid transit permits for the whisky intended for sale solely in Chandigarh, according to assistant district excise officer Manoj Kumar Agrawal.
The seized alcohol, valued at Rs 70 lakh, is suspected to have been smuggled illegally into the state. Authorities are probing the incident and conducting a thorough investigation into the illegal liquor trafficking.
