Udupi Police Nab Man Alleged to Be Selling Liquor Illegally

The Udupi Police Department has arrested a local resident on charges of illegal liquor sales following a sting operation that uncovered a network distributing untaxed beverages across the district.

Under Karnataka's Liquor (Control) Act, unauthorized sale of alcohol is punishable with fines and imprisonment. Police have increased surveillance in the area after reports of black-market distribution causing public health concerns.

The arrest is part of a wider effort by law enforcement to curb illicit alcohol trade, which is believed to harm community safety and create revenue losses for the state. Source: Google News – Udupi.
