Police today seized 2,270 bottles of India Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) from two vehicles near a railway crossing falling under Kochaikot Police Station in Bihar's Gopalganj district.

Police said 2,270 bottles containing 965 litre of IMFL, manufactured in Haryana, and the two vehicles carrying those have been seized. However, the drivers managed to escape.

The Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar had first banned manufacture, trade, sale and consumption of country-made liquor from April 1, but later imposed a blanket ban on all types of liquor in the state.
