A 22-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly supplying liquor bottles kept hidden under vegetable crates in south Delhi's Tigri area, police said.
The accused, Pravesh, is a resident of Dakshinpuri, they added.
Police got a tip-off on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday that a vehicle loaded with vegetables would pass through MB Road and that illegal liquor was kept hidden in it, a senior police officer said.
"At 1.50 am, a vehicle was stopped for checking. It was found loaded with vegetable crates. When the crates were removed, a huge quantity of liquor was recovered," Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Kumar Thakur said.
A total of 1,236 bottles of liquor were seized from the possession of the accused, police said.
