Police seized liquor valued at Rs 1.484 million from an inner road at Mahalbari in Susta Rural Municipality-5, Nawalparasi West, during an operation at around 3:45 am on Thursday. The liquor, allegedly brought from India in violation of customs rules, was found abandoned in 11 large green bags, according to the report on the seizure. A joint team from the Lumbini Province Police Office in Tulsipur, Dang, the Ramnagar Police Post and the Belatari Area Police Office carried out the operation.
Liquor found in 11 bags
The seized consignment was discovered along an inner road section in Mahalbari. Police found the liquor in 11 large green bags, which were abandoned at the location when the team carried out its early-morning operation. The reported valuation of the liquor was Rs 1.484 million.
The circumstances described in the report indicate that the seizure involved liquor suspected of being brought across the border from India without following customs rules. The liquor was described as allegedly smuggled, rather than as a consignment whose origin or route had been independently confirmed. The information available does not identify a person responsible for bringing or leaving the bags at the site.
The location was in Susta Rural Municipality-5, within Nawalparasi West. The seizure took place on an inner road at Mahalbari, rather than at a customs checkpoint, according to the reported details. The account does not provide further information about the type or quantity of liquor in each bag, or how the total valuation was calculated.
Joint police operation
The operation brought together personnel from three police units: the Lumbini Province Police Office in Tulsipur, Dang, the Ramnagar Police Post and the Belatari Area Police Office. The team found and seized the bags at around 3:45 am on Thursday. The report does not describe how long the operation lasted or whether it followed a specific tip-off.
The joint deployment is the central operational detail in the account. It places the seizure in a coordinated effort involving the provincial police office and two local police units. However, no further information was provided about the roles of individual units, the route the team took, or whether any other property was recovered alongside the liquor.

The report characterizes the liquor as illegal and says it was allegedly smuggled from India in breach of customs rules. It does not identify a suspected carrier, vehicle, recipient or owner of the bags. Nor does the available account say whether anyone was detained or what steps police took after taking the liquor into custody. Those details have not been included in the published information about the seizure.
The reported value, location, timing and number of bags are the key facts disclosed: liquor worth Rs 1.484 million, packed in 11 large green bags, was found abandoned on an inner road at Mahalbari during a pre-dawn operation on Thursday.
