STF unearths the network operated through pvt transport services & digital transactions

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Vijayawada

A major Non-Duty Paid Liquor (NDPL) supply chain was busted across multiple districts in Andhra Pradesh, leading to several arrests and the seizure of a substantial quantity of illicit liquor.

The State Task Force (STF), which led the investigation, uncovered that the network operated through private transport services and digital transactions.

Authorities identified Chennai-based supplier S Prabhu as the key figure behind the operation, linking him to multiple illegal liquor distributions throughout the State.

The probe began with a breakthrough on December 27, 2024, in East Godavari district, when Rajamahendravaram (North) police seized 112 bottles of various premium brands and arrested Burla Balakrishna and Muppana Ravikumar.

Discrepancies in bottle quality and cap types raised suspicions of counterfeit liquor, later confirmed to have been sourced from Prabhu in Chennai.
