The liquor, valued at Rs 4.30 lakh, was smuggled into the country from Nepal by three smugglers, he said.

The seized liquor was handed over to the police.
Police and excise officials have been on the hunt against those involved in sale and manufacture of illicit liquor in the state, especially after four persons died consuming spurious liquor in Rohtas district last week.
A ban on sale and consumption of alcohol was imposed in the state from April last year.
