The Department of Narcotics Control (DNC) yesterday seized huge quantity of adulterated whiskey and arrested five persons from the T&T colony and Motijheel area in the city.

Tipped-off, a DNC team raided the T&T colony and unearthed a factory producing foreign made vodka and whiskey.

The DNC authority with the help of police arrested Hanif, Shabuddin, Shahjahan, Abdul and Aminul from the spot.

The arrested people confessed to the DNC authority that they mixed different colours and spirit with country made alcohol and sell those as foreign made ones. They also collect different brand labels of foreign made vodka and whiskey.

They said the cost of a litre of their 'foreign made whiskey' was only Tk 500 to Tk 600 but they fetch Tk 4,000 to the Tk 6,000 from their customers.

Narcotics officials conducted a thorough search and recovered a huge cache of locally made vodka and whiskey.

A case was filed with the police in this connection.
