Punjab police in Jalandhar confiscated 120 litres of beer and 8,800 prohibited capsules, detaining two suspects.
Punjab police conducting a raid in Jalandhar recovered a substantial cache of illicit alcohol, including 120 litres of beer and 8,800 prohibited capsules. The seizure was reported by local authorities, who said the items were hidden at an undisclosed location.
The capsules, which are often used to illicitly fortify homemade liquor, are banned under state regulations aimed at curbing unlicensed alcohol production. Their possession is considered a serious violation because they can lead to dangerous, unregulated beverages.
During the operation, two individuals were taken into custody. Both are being questioned for their role in the procurement and distribution of the illegal stock. The police have not disclosed their identities or the exact charges pending against them.
Investigators indicated that the case is part of a broader crackdown on illegal alcohol networks in Punjab. Further actions, including possible court proceedings, will follow as the probe continues.
