Police bust high-tech illegal liquor racket in Muraina, MP

Following a spate of deaths caused by poisonous liquor in Sagar, law‑enforcement agencies in Madhya Pradesh intensified checks on illicit alcohol networks. During the sweep, officials entered a residence in Muraina and discovered a sophisticated operation that sold both foreign‑branded and locally produced spirits, as well as beer. The proprietor, a woman, was found to be accepting payments through QR‑code transactions, effectively running an online liquor storefront from her home. Police seized the equipment used for the QR‑based payments and a stock of the illegal beverages. The raid highlights the growing use of digital tools in contraband trade, prompting authorities to warn that similar high‑tech setups will be targeted in future operations.
