The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNC) sealed a warehouse in connection with unauthorized storage of duty-free liquor, according to reports on Wednesday. The facility is said to be owned or operated by the father-in-law of prominent businessman Salman Muqtadir.
The DNC action follows an inspection that uncovered quantities of duty-free alcohol being kept at the location without the requisite clearance or permits. Officials said the warehouse lacked proper documentation for the imported liquor stock discovered during the raid.
Duty-free goods are typically reserved for diplomatic personnel, special industrial zones, and other exempt categories under Bangladesh's customs regulations. Unauthorized storage and sale of such items constitute a violation of tax and regulatory requirements.
The sealing of the warehouse represents a significant development in what appears to be an enforcement operation targeting illicit commercial activities. Further details regarding the quantity of liquor seized and any potential legal proceedings remain unclear at this time.
Authorities have not released additional statements regarding the investigation or any related enforcement actions.
