Raja Raghuvanshi brothers held for illegal liquor sale
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Rau police in Indore have booked Sachin Raghuvanshi and Vipin Raghuvanshi, brothers of murdered businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, for allegedly serving liquor without a licence at their eatery, Raja Bhoj Dhaba. The brothers and three employees were placed under preventive arrest, a police official said. A case under the Madhya Pradesh Excise Act has been registered.
A separate case under BNS Section 223 was filed against Vipin for failing to submit employee details to police. The family had been in the spotlight after Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered in Meghalaya in May 2025. His wife and her lover are the prime accused.
The Indian Opinion
Some may see this as a vendetta against a family already shattered by murder. But serving alcohol without a licence is a clear violation of the Excise Act, and police claim the raid was part of a routine drive. The real test will be whether similar inspections happen with equal vigour at other dhabas in the area, or if this was just a headline-grabbing check on a notorious name.
