Neha Jha, 25, was arrested in Samastipur carrying 75 litres of imported alcohol, echoing a similar seizure involving her elder sister Nishu at the same age.
Police in Samastipur detained 25-year-old Neha Jha after she was found in possession of 75 litres of foreign liquor, a quantity that far exceeds typical personal use. The seizure was made during a routine check, and the authorities seized the entire stock along with the suspect.
Investigators noted that Neha's elder sister, Nishu Jha, faced a comparable arrest at the age of 25, when she was caught with 21 litres of illicit alcohol. The parallel incidents highlight a recurring pattern within the same family.
Law enforcement also disclosed that the Jha family has a history of involvement in liquor smuggling; their father has previously served a prison term for similar offenses. This background suggests a possible family‑run network that facilitates the illegal trade.
The case arrives amid a broader crackdown on unauthorized liquor in Bihar, where state officials have intensified raids to curb the flow of contraband spirits that pose health and safety risks to the public.
