Indore Excise Department Seizes Liquor Worth ₹3 Crore From Devguradia Godown, 3,000 Boxes Recovered From Two Containers

On Tuesday evening, the Indore Excise Department seized liquor worth approximately Rs 3 crore from a godown in Devguradia, Madhya Pradesh. Around 3,000 boxes of foreign-made liquor were recovered from two containers parked within the premises. Acting on orders from Collector Shivam Verma and Assistant Excise Commissioner Abhishek Tiwari, Deputy Excise Controller Manoj Agrawal led a team that conducted the raid.

No driver or other individual associated with the consignment was present at the scene. The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) reached the location after receiving information about illegal pan masala storage. During the inspection, officials discovered pan masala and subsequently found a large quantity of foreign liquor in the two containers.

The watchman on the premises stated he did not know the owner of the stock, as he had been hired only a few days prior. The excise department is investigating the source, intended destination, and responsible parties behind the seizure. The liquor was manufactured in Uttarakhand, and further investigation is underway on suspicion of spurious liquor.

Excise officials also registered cases against six highway dhabas during a crackdown on illegal liquor storage and sale, seizing 65 bottles of country-made and foreign liquor while intensively checking suspicious vehicles on the highway between Rau and Mhow's Manpur area.
