Two persons have been booked in connection with the stock of liquor of different Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) brands of the 1998 batch recovered from a closed godown at Kuldeep Nagar in Ambala Cantonment.

The case has been registered against the godown owner/caretaker, Gourav Gupta, and liquor contractor Vicky Saini at the Parao police station under Sections 120-B of the IPC and Section 61 of the Excise Act.

Ambala anti-narcotics cell in-charge Hamir Singh said, “The duo has been booked for keeping stock without permission.

His claims are being verified and further investigation is on.” — TNS
