A major crackdown on the interstate liquor smuggling racket took place in Tonk district when local law enforcement intercepted a large freight container carrying an illegal haul. Acting in coordination with the District Special Team, Deoli police cordoned off the route and seized around 1,500 cartons of Haryana-manufactured illicit liquor. The estimated value of the confiscated consignment stands at approximately 1 crore rupees. Following the seizure, police detained the vehicle driver on the spot for detailed questioning.
Consignment Was Moving From Punjab Toward Gujarat
According to investigative details, the illicit consignment was being transported from Punjab toward Gujarat, traversing highway corridors through Rajasthan. Prior intelligence regarding the illegal transit reached district officers, prompting immediate mobilization. Both the Deoli police personnel and DST units set up surveillance along key road sections, carefully tracking suspicious commercial vehicles until the targeted container was identified and pulled over.
Interception Near Deoli CO Office on NH-52
The coordinated interception unfolded right on NH-52 in the vicinity of the Deoli CO office. Patrol units flagged down the heavy vehicle for verification and initiated an inspection. Inside the closed storage bay, officers uncovered row upon row of stacked liquor cartons that completely filled the cargo area. The entire container and its illicit cargo were impounded and brought to the local police station.
The operation was led by Deoli SHO Preeti Ratnu, CO Madan Dhaka, and DST in-charge Omprakash Choudhary. Having secured the physical evidence and the carrier, investigators are now focusing on identifying the dispatchers and intermediaries orchestrating the cross-border logistics of this illegal shipment.
SP Roshan Meena Supervising Ongoing Investigation
Tonk SP Roshan Meena is directly supervising the investigation as enforcement teams interrogate the detained driver. Authorities are tracing the precise loading facility in Punjab and the intended distribution drop-off location in Gujarat. Officials anticipate further disclosures concerning the broader network and handlers as the interrogation and route analysis progress.
