Serious questions have been raised regarding a recent operation against illicit liquor in the Morena district of Madhya Pradesh. The police action within the Rampur Kalan police station jurisdiction has landed under heavy scrutiny due to a glaring discrepancy between the volume of liquor supposedly seized and the official figures recorded at the station. The involvement of private individuals allegedly linked to a liquor contractor and accusations of letting off a motorcycle post-seizure have further fueled the controversy.
Raids Across Two Villages in a Single Night
Reports had emerged of a major crackdown against illegal alcohol in the villages of Semna and Jhonsil, both falling under the Rampur Kalan police station area. Initial claims suggested that roughly 7 boxes of liquor were seized from Semna and around 30 boxes from Jhonsil. However, official police documents paint a vastly different picture, as a case under Section 34(2) of the Excise Act was registered solely based on the 25 boxes of liquor recovered from Jhonsil.
Tractor Search and Arrests Made
According to the police version, the operation was executed following a tip-off from a confidential informer. Authorities stated that a blue Swaraj tractor was intercepted and searched in Jhonsil village, yielding 25 boxes of contraband liquor. Police apprehended two suspects from the location, while a third accused managed to escape, and efforts are underway to track him down.
Viral Videos and the Mystery of the Missing Liquor
Following the incident, video footage surfaced that appears to contradict the official narrative. In these clips, individuals allegedly working for a liquor contractor are seen confiscating the alcohol while no police personnel are visible at the scene. This has sparked allegations that the private individuals intercepted the booze first and notified authorities afterward. In Semna, reports indicated that 7 boxes of liquor were found at the premises of Rakesh कुशवाहा, and the suspect managed to flee, yet no formal case has been registered regarding this specific episode. This exact point forms the crux of the mystery surrounding the missing 7 boxes.
Allegations Over Released Motorcycle and Unanswered Questions
The most contentious aspect of the entire episode revolves around a Splendor motorcycle brought to the police station from Jhonsil along with the seized alcohol. Allegations are rife that the bike, which arrived alongside the contraband, was quietly released the same night. Critics are demanding answers as to under whose authority the vehicle was let go if it had been officially seized, and whether any record of it exists in the station's documentation.
These developments have cast a shadow of doubt over the Rampur Kalan police station. Questions persist over whether the raid was genuinely a law enforcement operation or orchestrated by private agents, why the math on the liquor boxes does not add up, and whether the seized motorcycle was indeed allowed to walk free overnight.
