Drones used to detect the unit; huge quantity of arrack, jaggery wash seized
In a major operation, the police raided a creek near the Kolleru Lake and seized huge quantity of arrack, jaggery wash and other material used for brewing Illicitly Distilled (ID) liquor on Wednesday and arrested four persons involved in the illegal activity.
“The accused are manufacturing ID liquor on a wooden platform built at a height (called ‘mancha’ in Telugu) in thick bushes near Pandiripalligudem village. We suspect the involvement of a gang in the illegal trade,” said Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal, who participated in the operation.
As part of the special action plan, the police are using drones to detect ID liquor manufacturing sites, and hoarding and selling points in the district. The drones traced a liquor brewing unit in a remote location in the creeks near Kolleru.
