In Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, women are being used for liquor smuggling along the Uttar Pradesh-Bihar border. Mugalsarai police conducted a raid and arrested six female smugglers, seizing 86.5 liters of illicit liquor and beer.
Chandauli: Liquor smuggling continues to rise along the border of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Despite Bihar's prohibition law, the illegal supply of liquor persists. Liquor mafias are adopting new tactics, now employing women in their operations. Chandauli police recently arrested six women involved in liquor smuggling, recovering 86.5 liters of illicit foreign liquor and beer. This incident has put the administration on high alert.
Police Receive Tip-off, Leading to Major Revelation
A significant development emerged from the Mugalsarai police station area of Chandauli district. Police received a tip-off that several women were carrying a large quantity of illegal liquor in DDU Nagar and preparing to transport it to Bihar. Following the information, police sprang into action and launched a checking campaign near Subhash Park.
During this check, police apprehended six women, seizing a total of 86.5 liters of foreign liquor and beer. All six women were arrested. Police believe the women, residents of Bihar, may have prior involvement in liquor smuggling. Interrogation is underway to determine if they are part of a larger syndicate or acting independently.

Identification and Connections of the Arrested Women
Police arrested six women from Bihar on charges of liquor smuggling in Chandauli. Their names are Sony Devi, Radhika, Khushboo, Preeti Devi, Phoolmati, and Sunita. Police are investigating whether they were acting alone or as part of a larger smuggling network. Following the arrests, police plan to intensify their crackdown on liquor smuggling.
Liquor Smuggling Through Women – A New Trick by Smugglers
Liquor smugglers are now using women to evade police surveillance. Smugglers believe women attract less suspicion, leading them to employ women for liquor transportation. This practice is particularly prevalent in areas like the UP-Bihar border, where the prohibition law fuels the illegal liquor trade. Women are increasingly being exploited in the smuggling activities.
The recent Chandauli operation confirms this trend. Police apprehended six women simultaneously with significant quantities of illicit foreign liquor and beer. These women, residents of Bihar, were in possession of substantial amounts of liquor. While similar incidents have occurred before, the arrest of so many women simultaneously suggests a well-planned operation by the smugglers.
Were the Women Independently Involved in Liquor Smuggling?
A crucial question arises regarding the six women arrested in Chandauli: were they independently purchasing and transporting liquor, or were they part of a larger smuggling ring using them as conduits? The answer remains unclear, but the matter is serious and represents a significant turning point in the investigation.
