New Delhi: Patrolling by the Jaguar team, along with stern action against liquor traffickers and tightening the noose on the negligence of policemen, have resulted in the recovery of illicit liquor across Dwarka.
The three-point strategy started bearing fruit within a span of a month for the Dwarka district which saw the recovery of more than 12,000 illicit liquor and beer bottles of different sizes from four subdivisions.
According to the police, crime prevention measures were briefed to police by senior officers who stated that there should be control over crime especially the illicit liquor and drugs selling. The focus was laid on the Dabri subdivision.
The data accessed by Millennium Post claimed that from July 11 to August 2, more than 20 cases were reported from three police stations of Dabri subdivision under the Excise Act, and 21 people including women have been accused. The local police recovered more than 7,000 quarters of illicit liquor.
A large haul of liquor was seized on two different days. On July 23, around 2,160 quarters were found under the possession of a person identified as Nakul from JJ Colony Bindapur. On the same day, another man was caught with 2880 quarters from A- block of Bindapur by constable Sandeep.
