During the inspection, they find several cartons of alcohol stocked ingeniously in the basement and inside the refrigerator. In the meantime, the officials turn the entire place upside down and confiscate all the boxes full of liquor.

Acting on a tip-off, the team of cops went to Dham locality and conducted checks.
