Indian Oil labelled tanker carrying illegal liquor; smuggling tactics baffle authorities in Bihar

Begusarai, Bihar, has witnessed a surprising development as liquor smugglers employ innovative methods to continue their illicit trade despite the state's strict liquor ban. The Teghra police station received information about a mobile pickup oil tanker being used for the illegal sale of liquor.

Acting on this intel, the police surrounded Gaura village and apprehended a pickup labeled with "Indian Oil" and equipped with an oil tanker tank. The subsequent investigation revealed an astonishing discovery – approximately 20 cartons of foreign liquor, valued at around Rs 2 lakh, concealed within the oil tank.

The police also noted discrepancies between the number plate on the pickup tanker and the documents accompanying it. Currently, authorities are probing the origins of the smuggled liquor, its intended destination, and the owner of the oil tanker, as they grapple with the puzzling use of innovative 'Jugaad' technology by liquor smugglers.
