- | Wednesday | 3rd October, 2018
Taking advantage of the closure of liquor shops on Gandhi Jayanthi, the accused had purchased the bottles in bulk from liquor shops and were selling them at higher rates. The wing also seized more than 470 liquor bottles after arresting six people in separate raids. At a raid at Vedhalai, near Mandapam, Mr. Vellaidurai and his team seized 417 liquor bottles after arresting two persons on charges of selling the bottles illegally. The conductor was caught as he was getting down from a TNSTC bus, plying between Chidambaram and Mudukulathur, via Ramanathapuram, carrying a bag, which contained 52 liquor bottles. Mr. Vellaidurai locked the shops and suggested that the district administration cancel the licences of the four shops.
