Hajipur (Bihar): Seven Bihar police personnel were arrested on Monday for allegedly consuming and selling liquor seized during raids in Vaishali district, officials said.

The officers of the Anti-Liquor Task Force (ALTF), including a woman constable, were arrested during searches at Mahua and Patepur areas of the district, they said.

Police also recovered 32 litres of liquor from their premises.

The Nitish Kumar-led government imposed a total ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol in Bihar in 2016.

“All seven personnel of the ALTF-3 were arrested on the charge of consuming and selling seized liquor during raids,” Vaishali SP Har Kishore Rai told reporters in the evening.

A case has been registered at Mahua police station in this regard and investigation is underway, he said.
