Pune, 26 December 2025: In a major crackdown on illegal liquor trade, Pune Police seized a large stock of illicit alcohol and cash during a raid in Kondhwa. The action later led to the discovery of over ₹1 crore in cash from the accused’s residence.
The preventive operation was carried out in Kakade Vasti, Galli No. 2, where police recovered 80 pouches of illegal liquor, two cans with a capacity of 35 litres each, and bottles and packets of whisky, rum, and beer. The seized liquor was valued at around ₹2 lakh, along with ₹1.41 lakh in cash, taking the total seizure to approximately ₹3.5 lakh.
Following the seizure, police booked three persons, Amar Kaur alias Madrikaur Dadasing Juni, Dildar Singh Dadasing Juni, and Devashri Juni Singh, for illegal liquor sale. Since a substantial amount of cash was found during the initial action, police conducted a search of their residence.
During the house search, officers found a large sum of money concealed in different compartments of a bedroom cupboard. A panchnama was done, and cash amounting to ₹1,00,85,000 was seized.
The operation was conducted under the guidance of senior officers from Zone Five, with PSI Afroz Pathan and the investigation team leading the action. Police are now probing the source of the seized cash and the extent of the illegal operation.
