SIVASAGAR: There had been frequent allegations that illegal entry of Arunachal Pradesh-made liquor into Assam resulted in huge revenue losses to the excise department. This time the Asomiya Yuva Mancha (AYM) central committee has alleged that a man named Raj Kumar Singh has been running a lucrative business of liquor from Arunachal Pradesh.

In a press release signed by president Jadav Gogoi, in-charge secretary Dharmakanta Gogoi, and assistant secretary Akash Saikia of the AYM central committee, it has been alleged that under the leadership of Raj Kumar Singh, liquor from Arunachal Pradesh was being sent to various parts of Assam, and states like Nagaland, West Bengal, Bihar etc.
