The liquor scam exposed a web of illegal activities from producing cheap, spurious liquor to granting licenses without proper checks. It also involved shell companies, money diversion to foreign accounts, and fund routing to convert black money into white and finance elections.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) continues to lead the probe. It has identified several individuals and companies for detailed inquiry and keeps tracking new leads through ongoing raids and surveillance.
