According to the DNC, several cross-border gangs are illegally bringing liquor from India and supplying it to customers in Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara and some other elite areas of Dhaka. They are bypassing the duty collection mechanism, forcing the country to lose a significant portion of the revenue.
DNC officials specifically claim that some unscrupulous Indian nationals are bringing in liquor from India.
Deputy Director of DNC (Dhaka North) Rasheduzzaman said that they have already identified the gang which brings liquor from India with the help of Indian nationals and distributes it in Gulshan and Banani areas.
He further said that they are trying to arrest a Bangladeshi national whom they have identified as the ringleader.
