The head of the product department, Subhash Kumar, said, 'This is the first case where foreign liquor smuggling has been caught in the guise of honeybees after the alcohol ban in Bihar.' He said that smugglers used honeybees because people are afraid of them and stay away from them.
They informed that the product department team has carried out this action with great caution and intelligence. The team faced quite a bit of trouble in taking action due to the bees. During the operation, two workers were also stung by the bees. Later, with the help of the animal husbandry department, the bees were safely placed in a secure location.
