Overview
- The Pethbeed police, which acted on a tip Wednesday, intercepted a TVS electric scooter near the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar statue around 11 am.
- Officers arrested Sachin Vitthal Wade, 38, of Nalwandi, for carrying liquor without a permit.
- They seized the scooter and the stock, with a total value of about Rs 1,17,900, and registered a case at Pethbeed police station.
- Investigators say the liquor may have been bound for illegal distribution in Beed and are tracing the supplier under Inspector Maroti Khedkar.
- State excise rules in Maharashtra require a permit to move liquor, so police use tip-offs and roadside checks to disrupt small local supply lines.
