Two officers of the Bihar Railway Police were arrested after authorities discovered they were hiding 27 litres of liquor that had been seized under the state’s alcohol ban.
During a routine inspection at a railway station in Bihar, two Railway Police officers were found in possession of 27 litres of alcohol that had previously been seized under the state’s alcohol ban. The officers were immediately detained and are now under investigation by the authorities.
The seized liquor was part of a crackdown on illegal alcohol distribution that began earlier this year. The discovery of the officers hiding the liquor highlights a breach of the very law they are supposed to enforce.
Police officials have said that the officers will face charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act and other relevant statutes. The case is being examined by the state’s anti-corruption bureau.
The incident has drawn criticism from political leaders who have called for stricter oversight of law‑enforcement personnel involved in the enforcement of the alcohol ban.
No further details about the officers’ identities or the exact location of the incident have been released at this time.
