Liquor Inside Oil Tanker in Sonbhadra: Cops Seize 900 Boxes of Alcohol Hidden in Indian Oil Tanker en Route to Bihar in UP, Driver Arrested (Watch Video)

In a dramatic turn of events in Sonbhadra, police intercepted an Indian Oil tanker allegedly transporting gas from Jalandhar to Jhansi, only to discover 900 boxes of liquor hidden inside. The tanker, en route to Bihar via Jharkhand, was found to contain 8,006.4 liters of English liquor, concealed under the guise of gas. Driver Jagmal Singh, arrested on the spot, provided fake documents to authorities, attempting to pass off the illicit cargo as legitimate gas transportations, but Indian Oil denied any connection to the vehicle. Police suspect a larger smuggling ring behind the operation, with investigations ongoing. The liquor, worth INR 50 lakh, was meant for delivery in Ranchi, with smugglers using coded WhatsApp messages. Police continue their probe, tracking the network behind the illicit trade. Liquor Inside Oil Tanker in Muzaffarpur: 200 Boxes of Alcohol Found Hidden in HP Oil Tanker in Dry State Bihar, Video Surfaces.
