During investigations, the police also stumbled upon illegal liquor from his possession.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Vishaljit Singh said the Sultanwind police led by SHO Rajinder Singh seized as many as 54 rolls of deadly kite string from his possession. He said his backward and forward linkages were being looked into to find out the source of the string which is widely used by people during the festivals of Lohri and Basant for flying kites.

He said during search, the police also recovered as many as 78 bottles of liquor from him. He could not produce any documents regarding the liquor, which was, therefore, seized.
