The police officer told this correspondent, “I had asked the family head of Dev Bhavan very close to this secret hole to get it plugged with brick months ago, but the family has done nothing tangible.”
“I have again asked the same family to do it at the earliest, and if the family goes back on its word of plugging the secret hole, then police will get it done”, added the police officer.
The police officer even gave his phone number to a boy of this Dev Bhavan, asking him to phone him if there arises any problem.
Asked if people or those who indulge in illicit liquor create hindrances and prevent plugging of the secret hole with brick, to which police officer said, “We know how to deal with such a situation.”
Raid against illicit liquor days ahead of the Holi festival are seen as a pro active policing. Town Daltonganj sees a boom in illicit liquor during the Holi festival.
