Even as all liquor shops have been closed during the lockdown, the Excise Department has reportedly violated the norm by transporting foreign liquor in its vehicle here.
The matter came to the fore after a video went viral in this regard on Thursday.
Taking note of it, the district administration has started an investigation. District Collector Vijay Amrut Kulange has issued show-causeca notice to the concerned liquor shop owner and the Excise Inspector.
According to the video, a Bolero van was parked at a foreign liquor shop at the old bus stand here on Wednesday. Some officials carried liquor bottles and kept them liquor in the van.
