He further added that vehicles containing liquor on inspection could not produce the approved transport permit and it was also revealed that the stocks were delivered in the retail outlets without proper recording and documentation of stock supply.
The action followed receipt of secret information about huge loss being caused to the government exchequer due to excise duty and VAT evasion in supply and sale of Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and foreign liquor due to collusion between distillers, managers of bonded warehouses, and owners of liquor vends with active connivance of the officials of Delhi excise department.
The ACB, in its report, said that a prima facia nexus of excise officials with the owners and managers of bonded warehouses and liquor vends have caused a huge revenue loss to the government.
