In a decisive move against illegal activities, the Kalighat Police executed a rapid and effective operation on January 17, 2024, successfully dismantling an illicit liquor manufacturing operation hidden within the dense forest of Talbagan, under the jurisdiction of PS Kalighat.
Under the leadership of SI Silpi Singha, SHO PS Kalighat, a specialised team was swiftly formed to tackle the clandestine operation. The team, headed by ASI Mukesh Charan I/c OP Kishorinagar, included the dedicated personnel of PCs Jaspal Singh, Ripon Mistry, and Shoaib Ali.
The operation resulted in the confiscation of a substantial quantity of Lehan, totalling 170 litres, cleverly concealed in 8 Jerrycans within the depths of the jungle. Additionally, various utensils and Bhatti articles used for the production of illicit liquor were seized. The confiscated materials were promptly destroyed, dealing a significant blow to the illegal liquor manufacturing network operating in the region.
