Sitabuldi police have confiscated the unaccounted money and initiated further investigation into the matter.
Meanwhile, with the announcement of the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly Elections, the code of conduct will remain in effect until the results are declared. During this period, the possibility of illegal activities such as alcohol production, transportation, and sales cannot be ruled out. To curb such activities, strict surveillance is being maintained by both the State Excise Department and the police. Special teams have been deployed to prevent illegal liquor smuggling from other states, conduct night patrols, inspect suspicious vehicles, and take action against illegal alcohol businesses. These teams are actively working to enforce the law.
