    Sir, The Hooch business is existing in Mangalore from a very long time, however there were so many cases come to light and people responsible get away or else released in Bail. I strongly believe that even the Police are behind it and they are getting their cut from these Hooch makers. I have seen my self a Hooch guys doing at their own home in Attawar, this place was raided by the excise sometime back the guys got away and they started in someother place. So how do the police ERADICATE this menance in the Future??? do they have any strategy.
