Authorities in Bunda, Sagar used a bulldozer to demolish houses, warehouses and other structures built on government and cemetery land that were linked to the three main accused in the poisonous liquor scandal.
The district administration in Bunda, a suburb of Sagar, deployed a bulldozer on Thursday to tear down a cluster of illegal constructions that investigators say were used by the three principal suspects in the recent poisonous liquor case. The structures, comprising residential houses, storage warehouses and ancillary buildings, were erected on land owned by the state government and a nearby cemetery, violating multiple land‑use regulations.
Local officials explained that the demolition was part of a broader crackdown aimed at dismantling the network that facilitated the illicit production and distribution of toxic liquor, which has caused several deaths in the region. The operation was carried out after court orders confirmed the illegal status of the properties and their connection to the accused.
The administration announced that further inspections will continue across the district to identify and remove any other unauthorized edifices linked to the scandal. Officials urged the public to cooperate with law‑enforcement agencies as the probe proceeds.
