The National Crime Bureau (NCB) in Ludhiana, India, has seized 66 liquor stores owned by Akshay Chhabra, a drug lord, in a crackdown on the liquor business. Chhabra had invested drug money into the stores, and the stores' licenses have been frozen. Chhabra's close aide, Sandeep Singh, was arrested in November and has been charged with drug trafficking. So far, 16 people have been arrested in the case, including Chhabra and two Afghan nationals.
