Excise Superintendent Deen Bandhu said "a raid was conducted in Motipur police station area of Muzaffarpur district after we received information that liquor, worth about Rs one crore, had been brought from Haryana".
"At least 300 cartons of foreign liquor, which were being offloaded from a truck bearing a Haryana number plate for being carried in five small vehicles, were seized. All the six vehicles have also been seized", he said.
"Two persons, both of them local residents, were arrested from the spot even as other occupants of the six vehicles managed to flee", Bandhu said.
