Mangalore, Jun 4: The excise police have succeeded in detecting a storage godown of the brew meant to make hooch, in Pavur Uliya isle near Adyar on Wednesday June 4.
Excise police have been regularly raiding the illicit liquor dens for the last few weeks after this intoxicant claimed the lives of more than 200 people in the state. They destroyed huge quantity of brew and liquor during the raid. But they failed to apprehend anybody relating to the activity.
The excise police seized about 4,000 liters of brew during Wednesday's raid and destroyed it later. No arrests have been made during this raid. Excise deputy commissioner N M Hussain informed that they have identified two accused involved in the production of this brew. Action will be initiated to arrest them soon, he added. Since the spots where these activities are usually conducted belong to no one, the concocters of the illicit liquor succeed in escaping easily during the raids, he explained.
Excise officials Aziz Permannur, Madhav Rao and Kushalappa took part in this raid.
