The video of the incident has gone viral on social media. There were more than 24,000 liquor bottles which were lined up for disposal. The drive was taking place under the supervision of SP Sathish Kumar and was being carried out at the dumping yard in Nallacheruvu.
The crowd managed to flee with several bottles, leaving the police unable to stop them.
Generally, the police use a road-roller to destroy the seized liquor bottles, but this time they have bought a proclamation resulting in slowing the drive. As soon as the higher officials left the place, the locals jumped in grabbing the bottles.
