Excise officials in Satna intercepted a delivery agent during a decoy operation, leading to the arrest of the alleged mastermind behind a fake‑branded liquor scheme.
Satna's excise department launched a decoy operation targeting the illegal sale of adulterated liquor. During the sting, officials stopped a delivery agent who was transporting bottles marked with a popular brand but containing a suspicious, unidentifiable liquid.
