PATNA: A state excise department team seized Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) from an anganwadi centre at Mutulpur village under Hattha police outpost in Muzaffarpur district on Saturday.
The two-storey government building, supposed to supply nutritious diet to pregnant and lactating women, was being used to store and supply illicit liquor, much to the surprise of the excise officials.
Acting on specific inputs, the excise department team led by inspector Abhinav Kumar raided the anganwadi centre only to discover a 10-foot-deep and equally wide specially designed ‘tahkhana’ to stock the consignment.
Altogether 62 cartons of liquor were recovered from the hidden ‘tahkhna’. The supervisor and the ‘sevika’ of the centre were summoned by the excise officials for interrogation.
