Two Men Arrested for Making Liquor at Home in Tamil Nadu

Chennai: Two men used 'do it yourself' tips on making alcoholic beverages from a popular video-sharing website to produce liquor and were arrested before they could complete the process, police said on Saturday.

The two, having a place with a town close here, were captured when they were occupied with the way toward aging to get alcohol, they said. 

"They had nearly succeeded (in finishing the maturing procedure) and we captured the pair on Friday," said an authority, including the two said they got the "skill" of making mixed refreshments from a well known video-sharing site. 

Holders and different materials utilized for the upset offer to cause alcohol in one of their private premises to have been seized, he said.

On alleged illicit liquor brewing in



the district, the official said stern action was being taken against offenders.

Liquor retail outlets run by state-owned Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation are shut since March 24.

The official said days ago a man had prepared "the requisite mix" in a barrel to make country liquor and left it to get fermented.

Leaving the barrel in his bathroom to ensure that it is undetected, he "locked his house and left for a nearby place and had planned to return days after so that the mix would have by then fully fermented and be ready for consumption", the official said adding, however, they got a tip-off and destroyed it.

"Similarly, we have destroyed illicit liquor brewing in remote places and we thank the villagers for helping us in our endeavour," he said.
