Even the lowly rat can't keep up a clean image because of how rotten the rat race is. In dhanbad, Jharkhand, dealers who are unable to account for the disappearance of Indian-made foreign liquor supplies have blamed rodents for consuming over 800 bottles.
A month before Jharkhand's new liquor policy takes effect on september 1, the strange accusation against the poor rodents—who are unable to even bring legal action against those who have defamed them—occurs. Liquor stocks are being examined by the state government prior to the policy's implementation. Shops in the Pradhan Khunta and Baliapur neighborhoods of dhanbad were inspected as part of this effort.
802 IMFL bottles were found to be empty or nearly empty during the stock check, which was conducted in front of senior administrative personnel. The merchants attributed this disparity to rodents when questioned about it. Officials were informed that rodents drank the vodka after chewing off the lids of the bottles. The traders were urged to make up for the losses after the last-ditch attempt to assign responsibility failed.
The businesses will receive notifications to make up for their losses, according to Assistant Excise Commissioner Ramlila Ravani. When asked if the dealers blamed the depletion of booze stockpiles on rodents, he said, "Nonsense."
It's interesting to note that rats have previously been held responsible for drug theft in Dhanbad. They were previously accused of consuming roughly 10 kg of bhang (cannabis) and 9 kg of marijuana that the police had confiscated. The case even reached the court, which dismissed the officials for their ludicrous allegation.
Under Jharkhand's new liquor policy, private licensees—who will be chosen through an online lottery—would take over management and distribution of liquor stores from the state government. According to officials, the goal of the policy is to lessen the administrative load on the state and increase transparency in tax collection.
