Authorities in Devas district have uncovered an organized network involved in the production and supply of counterfeit alcohol following an investigation into 13 deaths reported in Chandana and Binjana villages in Madhya Pradesh.
Police identified Ajay Rathore as the primary accused in the operation. According to investigators, Rathore utilized artificial intelligence technology to acquire knowledge on manufacturing illicit liquor before establishing his production setup. He subsequently procured chemical substances from pharmaceutical suppliers in Indore's drug bazaar to facilitate the manufacturing process.
The operation involved refilling used bottles with the counterfeit alcohol before distributing the product through a coordinated supply network. Police have launched a comprehensive investigation to identify other members of the distribution chain and determine the full extent of the illicit enterprise.
Authorities have heightened vigilance across the region to prevent the sale of spurious liquor and protect public health. The incident underscores growing concerns about the use of advanced technology in facilitating illegal manufacturing operations across India.
