Acting on specific intelligence, the Excise Department carried out raids in Khaltsi Market and Garkon Village, leading to the recovery of a significant quantity of illicit liquor. The operations were led by Excise Inspector Zulfikar Ali from the Excise Range Leh-Kargil, with support from Sub-Inspectors Mohd Taqi and Stanzin Gaychet, along with Excise Guards Mohd Mussa and Stanzin Skaldan.

The first raid took place at a general store and a residential house in Khaltsi Market, both owned by the same individual, a local resident of Khaltsi, Leh. The search, conducted in the presence of the Nambardar and a community member, resulted in the seizure of 245 cans of beer from the premises. The accused was booked under Section 48(a) of the J&K Excise Act, 1958, and a formal complaint was lodged at the Excise Office, Leh-Kargil.

In a separate operation, the team raided a residential house in Garkon Village, Kargil District, following another tip-off. The search, overseen by the local Nambardar and a village committee member, uncovered 491 bottles of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and 16 cans of beer. The house was owned by a woman residing in Garkon. She was also booked under Section 48(a) of the J&K Excise Act, 1958, and a complaint was registered at the same Excise Office.

Both cases are currently under investigation, with further action being taken by the J&K Excise Act, 1958.
