They were transporting a huge haul of illicit liquor from Ludhiana (PB) to Maharashtra which was later to be smuggled to Gujarat. 505 cartons of premium brands of illicit liquor have been recovered from a specially designed truck.
    A team of Crime Branch led by ACP Sanjay Sehrawat and consisting of Inspr. P.C.Yadav, SIs Sandeep Yadav, Manoj Kumar, HCs Suresh, Sant Raj, Kartar, Kanwar Pal, Cts Satyawan, Ravi Mishra, Omprakash, Amarpal and Sandeep was constituted under the supervision of DCP Bhisham Singh to nab them. 
INCIDENT AND OPERATION:-
An information was received that a huge haul of illicit liquor was being transported from Ludhiana to Maharashtra via Delhi in a truck. On this information, a team of above said officials laid a trap near Pragati Power Station and flagged down a truck bearing No. UP-83AT-2115. The driver of truck whose name was revealed as Kaptan Singh above was asked about the goods in the trucks. He replied that there was ‘chemical drums in a wooden box’ in the truck, which were to be delivered at Shirdi, Maharashtra. As a proof of the same he had also shown the papers showing the goods as chemical drums packed in wooden box. The truck was checked after removing the tirpal and it was found containing large wooden box. The wooden box was broke open and one more steal container was found inside the wooden box. The same was also opened and it was found containing 505 cartons of premium brand of illicit liquors like Officers Choice, Magic Moment, Imperial Blue, Royal Stag, McDowell's No.1 etc. recovered.
INTERROGATION:-
During interrogation, it was revealed that both the accused persons are drivers and they are working for a Ludhiana based liquor supplier namely Sunny.  Because of ban on liquor in Gujarat, margin of profit is much higher in supply of liquor in Gujarat. So he used to supply illicit liquor from Punjab to Gujarat via Delhi and Maharashtra. For this purpose, he has modified the truck by putting a steel container in the truck and then covering the same with ply boards making it look like wooden box. He would describe the goods as chemical drums in wooden box and no one can doubt the description until the wooden frame of steel container is broke open. The liquor would be unloaded at a godown in Akkalkuwa, Maharashtra, just near the Gujarat Border. From Akkalkuwa the same would be smuggled to Gujarat. Sunny would pay accused persons Rs. 15,000/- per trip.

Accused persons have been arrested under appropriate sections of law.  Search of remaining accused persons is being conducted. Investigation of the case is in progress.
