Madhya Pradesh police confiscated ten cartons of illicit domestic and foreign liquor valued at about Rs 11 lakh in Raghogarh, detaining the son of former Chanchoda MLA.
Raghogarh police launched a raid on a suspected liquor‑smuggling operation on Monday, seizing ten cartons of both locally produced and imported spirits. The haul, valued at roughly Rs 11 lakh, was recovered from a storage unit linked to the accused.
Investigators identified the primary suspect as the son of a former Chanchoda constituency legislator. He was taken into custody at the scene and is being questioned for his role in the illegal distribution network.
Authorities said the seizure is part of a broader crackdown on illicit alcohol in Madhya Pradesh, which has seen a rise in unlicensed production and smuggling in recent months. The case will be forwarded to the district court for further legal action.
