Three individuals arrested with 826 bottles of alcohol during a police raid on a large-scale distribution network in Henveiru have been remanded in custody.
The police identified the suspects as Bangladeshi nationals Al-Amin, 34, Polin, 43, and MD Rakib Hossain, 25. The court ordered Al-Amin and Polin to be held for five days, while Rakib was remanded for 15 days.
The operation, conducted jointly by Counter-Narcotics Intelligence and Drug Enforcement, uncovered 826 bottles of alcohol stored openly throughout a storeroom.
In addition to the loose bottles, authorities found several cases of alcohol packed in boxes labelled with their respective brand names.
It has been noted that the majority of suspects apprehended in recent police operations targeting the illegal alcohol trade are foreign nationals.
