Punjab police busted a gang producing spurious liquor in Jalandhar, confiscating 88 cans that tested positive for ethanol chemicals.
Punjab police conducted a raid on a suspected illegal liquor operation in Jalandhar, targeting a gang accused of manufacturing spurious alcoholic beverages. The operation was uncovered after intelligence inputs linked the group to the distribution of unlicensed liquor in the region.
During the raid, officers seized 88 metal cans that were later examined by forensic experts. Laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of ethanol chemicals, indicating that the contents were not genuine alcoholic drinks but a hazardous concoction that can cause severe health issues if consumed.
The seized items have been handed over to the district magistrate for further legal proceedings. Authorities have warned the public about the dangers of consuming unregulated liquor and have pledged to intensify monitoring of illicit alcohol production across Punjab.
