In a decisive operation executed on 2nd March 2024, the Rangat Police achieved a major breakthrough by dismantling an illicit liquor production setup nestled within the depths of Shyamkund forest, Bakultala.
Acting swiftly on actionable intelligence, Inspector R.K Mazumder, Officer-in-Charge of PS Rangat, orchestrated the mission, assembling a specialised team comprising HC Pabitro Shikdar and PCs Subroto Banik and Pradeep Topno. Their proactive approach led to the confiscation of a substantial haul, including 260 litres of Lehan, concealed ingeniously amidst the foliage alongside 1 large plastic drum, 4 tins, assorted utensils, and timber materials integral to the distillation process.
Under the watchful gaze of Mr. Rahul L. Nair, IPS, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Rangat, and the overarching guidance of Ms. Geetanjali Khandelwal, IPS, Superintendent of Police, N&M Andaman District, the operation unfolded seamlessly, culminating in the swift destruction of all confiscated items, effectively crippling the illegal liquor manufacturing nexus.
The public is urged to play an active role in upholding law and order by promptly reporting any suspicious activities to their nearest Police Station or through emergency hotlines at 100, 112, or 03192-273344. Informants can rest assured of confidentiality and may also stand to receive suitable rewards for their cooperation.
This resolute action by the Rangat Police underscores their unwavering commitment to curbing illicit activities and maintaining the safety and integrity of the community.
