Delhi police nab five from Wazirabad for making illicit liquor

The Delhi Police has busted an illicit liquor hideout in the Wazirpur area and seized raw liquor, furnace and some chemicals from the place. Five people have been arrested.

DCP Vijayanta Arya informed that the Ashok Vihar police team had received information that some people had set up a liquor furnace in the Wazirpur area to fulfill the demand for alcohol during the lockdown period.

A raid was conducted and a huge quantity of liquor was seized from the place along with the furnace and other items required to make alcohol. The accused were nabbed from the slums of Wazirpur B-block area.

The accused have been identified as Gopal Gupta (32) Shiv Gupta ( 40) Pulendra (54) as Radhe Shyam (34) and Ram Nath Shahu (39).

Interrogation revealed that they had been doing this for a few days. They would bring rotten fruits from the market to make the illicit liquor.

Notably, people who drink liquor made from such places are prone to accidents as alcohol is of poor quality.
