Excise Department Busts Fake Liquor Manufacturing Gang in Kushaiguda; Huzurnagar Operation Linked

News info:

Authorities have taken down a fake liquor production operation allegedly based in Kushaiguda (Medchal) and linked to a warehouse-based fraud in Huzurnagar (Suryapet district). The gang, posing as legitimate, produced and distributed counterfeit liquor labeled as genuine, misleading consumers and breaching public health safety.

In Huzurnagar, a large-scale spurious liquor racket was dismantled. Officials seized 840 liters of rectified spirit, counterfeit branded bottles, labels, and packaging materials at a rice mill-turned-factory in Ramapuram village. Six suspects are in custody.

In Kushaiguda (Medchal), illegal liquor operations were traced to a fraudulent labeling scheme involving “Kalti” (home-brewed) liquor. The Excise Department’s task force arrested individuals involved in replicating official Excise branding to sell illicit alcohol.
