The Special Investigation Team (SIT) in Goa has uncovered an illegal storage facility allegedly used to stock liquor and industrial spirit without authorization. The raid, conducted in coordination with excise and police officials, resulted in the seizure of a significant quantity of bottled liquor and raw spirit suspected to be intended for illegal distribution and sale.
The bust took place in the Verna industrial region, where officials discovered the storage premises being operated without valid permits. Two individuals connected to the facility were taken into custody. Authorities believe the setup may be part of a larger supply network catering to unregulated retail and tourism-linked consumption channels.
Seizure and Operation Details
According to initial assessments, several gallons of spirit and cartons of liquor were stored in concealed sections of the warehouse. Labels and documentation found on-site are expected to provide further leads.
Officials have noted that illegal spirit storage poses serious risks, including the possibility of manufacturing unsafe and potentially toxic liquor for commercial sale. Investigations will now focus on identifying additional links in the chain, including suppliers and buyers.
