Sayajigunj police inspector R G Jadeja said that one cheap liquor bottle was used to make three bottles of costly whiskey. “It was diluted with tea boiled in water to ensure it looked like whiskey,” he added.
During the raid, the police found liquors of a cheap whiskey brand from Goa and bottles of imported whiskey as well as prominent Indian whiskey brands. The imported brands whose bottles were found included Jack Daniels, 100 Pipers, Black Dog, Green Label, Black and While, Passport, Old Smuggler, Teachers and Absolut.
Sources said that the accused used to procure the empty bottles from scrap dealers. The cardboard cartons used to pack individual bottles were also found during the raid.
