Sambalpur: On Friday, excise agents seized a large amount of duplicate foreign liquor and arrested one person in the Ranibandha area of Odisha's Sambalpur district.
According to sources, a special team of excise officials raided some factories in Ranibandha after receiving information about illegal foreign liquor manufacturing in the area.
During the operation, a large number of duplicate foreign liquor bottles, tools, and other packaging items were seized from a location. Suraj Behera, a man, was arrested in connection with this case.
The unit was accused of producing duplicate and adulterated liquor by combining various spirits and other ingredients. These were packaged in bottles bearing the labels of some well-known imported foreign brands.
Behera, on the other hand, claimed to have no knowledge of the production of fake foreign liquor. He claimed that another person who was renting the house had stocked the liquor bottles.
According to excise officials, a ring is behind the production of fake foreign liquor, with someone in Kolkata serving as the kingpin. The accused was given spirit and other materials to make fake foreign liquor.
They claimed that the fake products were being sold at lower prices to unsuspecting customers.
