The special cell of Ludhiana police has exposed a significant fake liquor racket operating in Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The operation involved refilling empty bottles of premium imported liquor brands, such as Glenlivet and Johnnie Walker, with low-grade alcohol and selling them at inflated prices. Manmeet Singh, a resident of Guru Angad Dev Nagar and an employee at a local beer bar, was arrested following a tip-off near Flower Chowk. Authorities seized 16 liters of counterfeit liquor and 500 empty bottles of luxury brands during the operation. The accused purchased empty bottles from scrap dealers and used equipment sourced from Kolkata to seal them with fake labels. Singh admitted to supplying these counterfeit bottles to various bars and liquor vendors in Nawanshahr and Jalandhar. An FIR has been filed against him under multiple sections of the Excise Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The police are actively pursuing three other individuals believed to be involved in the operation.
