Sri Vijaya Puram, November 14: An alleged illicit liquor preparation and storage operation in the forest area of Prafulla Nagar, Nimbudera, came under scrutiny after North and Middle Andaman Police recovered approximately 105 litres of illicit substances during a search on November 13. The recovery included around 100 litres of lehan, used in the preparation of illicit liquor, and five litres of finished liquor.
A team from the Outpost (OP) Badamnallah conducted the search following information about suspected illicit liquor-related activities in the area.
Police found the substances in the forest but did not identify anyone claiming ownership of the recovered material. With no claimant present at the location, the team destroyed the seized substances along with the materials used for their preparation and storage.
The operation targeted an area within Prafulla Nagar, Nimbudera, where the recovered quantity included both the substance used for liquor preparation and the liquor itself. However, the police statement did not identify any individual suspected of involvement or provide details about the source of the information.
North and Middle Andaman Police has urged residents to share credible information about illicit liquor activities to support enforcement efforts across the district.
