Jammu, Nov 15: In a significant crackdown on the illegal liquor trade, Jammu Police have arrested a bootlegger and seized a large quantity of illicit liquor in the Bishnah area. This operation is part of an intensified drive to curb the sale and distribution of illegal alcohol, launched under the direct instructions of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jammu, Joginder Singh (JKPS).

A dedicated police team from Police Station Bishnah, led by Station House Officer (SHO) Inspector Sushil Choudhary, with oversight from Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) RS Pura, Nikhil Gogna, and Superintendent of Police Headquarters, carried out the operation.
