Tirupur: Superintendent of police G Shashank Sai on Monday placed two police constables under suspension after they were booked for smuggling liquor from Dindigul district to Tirupur. R Muthusuruli, 39 and K Duraimurugan, 29, attached to the Palladam and Mangalam police stations respectively, were on the way to Palladam from Kallimandhayam in Dindigul on Sunday. They were with Anbalagan, a civilian. When they reached V Kallipalayam near Kamanaickenpalayam, car driver constable Muthusuruli lost control over the vehicle, which turned turtle. A team from Kamanaickenpalayam police that checked the vehicle found two bags containing 70 liquor bottles. “When Tasmac outlets were closed in 11 districts including Coimbatore, Tirupur, Nilgiris and Erode due to rising number of Covid-19 cases, people from Tirupur started to visit Dindigul to buy liquor. Smelling an opportunity, Muthusuruli and Duraimurugan smuggled liquor from Dindigul to sell it at a much higher price here,” a police officer said.
