The illicit liquor traders were targeted and detained by the women who destroyed their hooch consignment yesterday, they said.

The two were rescued and subsequently arrested by the police for indulging in illegal liquor trade, police said.

The women protesters said they were forced to take law unto their hands as the authorities had "failed" to redress our grievance.
