Excise officials had recovered 168 bottles (200 ml each) of country-made liquor in seven cartons from the house of Harnaut block JD(U) president Chandrajeet Kumar Sen alias Moti Singh in Lohra village of Nalanda district on August 30, Modi said.
Sen was arrested by the police but his wife Madhumita Singh, who is the village-head, was not held, he said, alleging that senior officials of the district were trying to protect the JD(U) member while trying to falsely implicate another person in the case.
Modi claimed that the DM and the SP have written a joint letter, mentioning Sen as innocent, which would be submitted before the court to help him secure bail.
"What is happening in the name of prohibition in Bihar where DM and SP are working as JD(U) worker," he wondered.
