Assam: Arunachali Liquor Syndicate Mastermind Nabbed by Police, Produced Before Court

DIPHU: After being detained in Guwahati, Pranati Bora, the leader of the Arunachali liquor syndicate, was brought before a court in Assam's Karbi Anglong on Tuesday.

In connection with the Arunachali liquor case, Pranati would later be taken into custody by Diphu police. Pranati Bora was earlier apprehended by the police in Guwahati.

For a very long time, Pranati Bora has been suspected of being the principal brains behind the Arunachali liquor syndicate and the police were on the lookout for her.

On February 6, Assam Police conducted an operation to break an interstate liquor smuggling organization and discovered a sizable shipment of illegal alcohol made in Arunachal. The total value of the seizures, according to officials, was just under 40 lakhs.

According to early reports, local police in Assam's Sonitpur district and Behali district conducted an operation against illegal spirits smuggling during which the consignment was captured. In addition, two additional people were held by police in relation to the seizure.

Officials reported that a truck with a Manipur registration had been stopped and that after a check, illegal alcohol had been discovered and taken into custody. The truck was registered with the license plate "MN 03 T1 1401."

The truck allegedly ignored their requests to stop and attempted to leave the area after they asked it to do so, according to the police. After a protracted pursuit, the truck was finally stopped by police at Boginadi in Lakhimpur, Assam.

The truck driver and the co-pilot were detained by the authorities in the meanwhile on suspicion of smuggling. Leu Singh was identified as the driver, and Dinku Singh as the co-pilot.

Earlier on January 21, the Excise Department conducted an operation in Rangapara, Assam's Sonitpur district, where they recovered a sizable amount of wine that had been illegally imported from Arunachal Pradesh and detained one person in connection with it.

Notably, the Rangapara Excise Department carried out raids throughout Chariduar. The raids targeted Arunachal Pradesh-bound illegal wine shipments.
