Excise inspector held in missing liquor case

ROHTAK: The SIT probing the case of liquor gone missing from a Kharkhauda godown on Sunday arrested excise inspector Dherender Kumar, who was posted at Fatehabad.

Sonepat SP Jashandeep Randhawa said the excise inspector, who was transferred from Sonepat to Fatehabad five months ago, was arrested for helping kingpin Bhupinder Singh in smuggling the illicit liquor.
