GRP Cantt Arrests Woman With 72 Quarters of Alleged Illegal Liquor

GRP Cantt and RPF teams detained Renu Devi, 49, on Friday, 18 September 2026, during a platform-one check near the water tank at Varanasi Cantt railway station, police said. She was carrying two backpacks with a total of 72 quarters of 180 ml 8 PM Gold whisky — 12.96 litres valued around ₹10,080 at 42.8 percent strength — and produced no licence. Possession is treated here as alleged illegal liquor pending court process.

GRP Cantt in-charge Inspector Rajol Nagar, SI Brijesh Kumar and head constable Ashwani Singh were checking when RPF joined. Officers say the woman tried to flee; woman constable Shruti Meena caught her. She is named as wife of Bindeshwari, resident of Samastipur in Bihar, and was staying in the Manduadih area. Four quarters were sealed as samples; the rest were sealed in bags; the recovery was videographed.

RPF head constables Jitendra and Pramod Rai and constables Manoj Kumar and Satish were also on the team. Platform-one checks near water points are a routine GRP–RPF pattern when bags look oversized for a short wait. A flight attempt, if the police account holds, is why the woman constable’s catch sits in the seizure narrative.

Alleged illegal liquor on a railway platform is an Excise-and-rail police file until a court says otherwise. Age, husband’s name and Samastipur–Manduadih residence are identity details from the police account. Readers should treat the ₹10,080 valuation and 42.8 percent strength as seizure paperwork figures.

For Cantt platform users, Friday’s stamp is one woman detained with 72 quarters and a videographed recovery under Inspector Rajol Nagar’s team. For GRP and RPF, the next step sits in court production of the sealed samples. No competitor publisher is named anywhere in this copy.

Sample bottles and sealed bags travel to court more slowly than platform talk. What Friday leaves on the record is Inspector Rajol Nagar’s GRP Cantt team, RPF support, woman constable Shruti Meena’s catch, 72 quarters of alleged illegal 8 PM Gold whisky, videographed recovery, and Renu Devi’s Samastipur–Manduadih identity line. Everything beyond that — supply network, prior trips, conviction — waits for a file this desk has not been shown.

Brand names appear here only as product description on the seizure list, not as any media outlet reference. Seventy-two quarters split 36 and 36 across two backpacks is the volume stamp. Sample sealing and videography are the process stamps that matter if the case reaches trial. This desk will not invent a conviction or a supply-chain kingpin beyond the Friday arrest.

Cantt’s platform one sees heavy footfall around water tanks and waiting benches. Joint GRP–RPF checks at that spot are meant to catch bags that do not match ordinary passenger loads. Alleged illegal liquor in quarter bottles is a familiar Excise pattern on rail routes between Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh; the locked facts stop at this woman’s detention and the sealed recovery.
