A group of women raided a grocery shop in Nadia village, Sagar district, confiscating a bag of illicit liquor and handing it over to police, prompting the shopkeeper to flee.
Sagar district officials reported that a team of local women entered a small grocery outlet in Nadia village that also sold snack items such as chips. During the raid they discovered a concealed bag containing illegal liquor, which they seized and immediately delivered to the nearest police station.
The women, who said they were acting on community concerns about the sale of unlicensed alcohol, confronted the shopkeeper. Upon seeing the seizure, the proprietor fled the premises before police could detain him.
Police have opened an investigation into the source of the contraband and are checking whether the shop was part of a larger network distributing illicit spirits in the region. The seized liquor will be examined for compliance with safety standards, and the case will be forwarded to the district magistrate for further action.
Authorities urged residents to report any similar activities and assured that strict action will be taken against those involved in the illegal liquor trade, which poses health risks and violates state excise laws.
The incident highlights growing vigilance among villagers in Madhya Pradesh against the proliferation of unregulated alcohol, especially in rural markets where such sales often go unnoticed.
