Punjab police bust more illicit liquor modules with 135 more arrests in state-wide raids

Chandigarh, Aug 6 (UNI) With 197 new cases and 135 more arrests in 24 hours, the Punjab Police has busted several modules as part of its state-wide crackdown on illicit liquor mafia, while further tightening the noose around the suspects in the hooch tragedy case.
A total of 284 drums of methanol were seized from the Millar Ganj (Ludhiana) shop/godown of the key accused, Rajiv Joshi, who had sold the three drums that had triggered the chain of deaths in three districts in one of the state’s worst such cases. The death toll in the case stands at 133.
DGP Dinkar Gupta said while investigations into the tragedy were continuing and the two SITs set up to fast-track the FIRs, the police continued with coordinated raids across districts on the orders of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to 'finish the illicit liquor business.'
