Camels Caught in Capital’s Booze Bootleg Ring: Five Arrested
Delhi Police made a startling discovery on Friday, September 12, 2025, uncovering a novel method of liquor smuggling. Three camels were seized, along with 42 cartons of illicit alcohol.
Five individuals were apprehended in connection with the operation. The police believe the animals were used to transport the contraband through difficult jungle terrains.
This marks the first instance of livestock being used in a smuggling operation in Delhi, highlighting the ingenuity of criminal networks.
The seized camels will be transferred to the Forest Department. The arrested men are being interrogated, and investigations are ongoing.
This unusual case underscores the evolving tactics employed by smugglers and raises concerns about the porous nature of Delhi’s borders, demanding a more robust response from law enforcement agencies to tackle such innovative criminal activities.
