Hyderabad: Telangana ke Suryapet district ke Ramapuram gaon (Mellachervu mandal) mein peer ke din excise aur Task Force ki team ne naqlee sharab banane wale ek bade operation ka parda faash kiya. Chhaape ke dauran 840 litre spurious whisky baramad ki gayi jiska andaza ₹20 lakh lagaya gaya hai.
Mukami tip-off par raided team ne ek temporary bottling unit ka pata lagaya jahan spirit, paani aur chemical additives ka istemal karke naqlee whisky taiyaar ki ja rahi thi. Yeh sharab branded khaali bottles mein daal kar nakli labels ke zariye seal ki ja rahi thi taake asli product ke taur par bechi ja sake.
Tahqiqat mein samne aaya ke Ramapuram ka rehaishi Tota Shivashankar, jo pehle ek wine shop mein sales clerk tha, is operation ka mastermind tha. Usne yeh dhandha Surya Prakash (Ramapuram) aur Sriram Mahesh (Durgi, Palnadu district, Andhra Pradesh) ke sath mil kar shuru kiya tha.
Police ke mutabiq yeh log Hyderabad ke ek pharmaceutical company se spirit le kar, har whisky bottle mein 25% spirit aur 75% paani aur doosre substances milate the. Yeh naqlee sharab Andhra Pradesh mein distribute ki jaane wali thi.
Authorities ka kehna hai ke yeh operation local body elections se pehle tezi se scale-up kiya gaya tha. Chhaape mein Surya Prakash aur Mahesh ko giraftaar kar liya gaya, jabke Shivashankar ab tak farar hai. Police ne uski talaash tezi se jaari rakhi hai.
