Illegal sale of deshi liquor in village panchayat Naugaon has become a significant concern among the local residents. Despite the B.D.C. Member making a formal complaint regarding this ongoing issue, the department of excise seemed to cover it under the carpet, neglecting their responsibilities.
This avoidance of accountability has not gone unnoticed; Mrs. Nishad, a vocal community member, expressed her dissatisfaction with the authorities’ inaction. She clearly stated that the authorities failed to detain offenders due to a “lack of planned strategy and dedication to the service,” emphasizing the need for a more structured approach to tackle the rampant illegal activities in the village.
Furthermore, she urged for community engagement and collaboration with law enforcement to devise effective measures aimed at curbing this illicit trade, which not only undermines the rule of law but also poses a threat to the well-being of the villagers.

Strong Objection: Rebuttal and Appeal Against Closure of Grievance GOVUP/E/2025/0106145, illegal liquor sale


Public Representative Alleges Intimidation and Flawed Investigation in Mirzapur Liquor Case

Grievance Status Update: GOVUP/E/2025/0115977
Concerned Ministry/Department: Uttar Pradesh
Complainant: Abhiraji Nishad, Member, Block Development Council (BDC), Village Panchayat Naugaon, Mirzapur.
Date of Receipt (Objection): 03/10/2025.
This grievance was lodged in response to significant concerns raised regarding the allocation of resources and support for local development projects in the region.
The complainant highlighted several issues that affect the community, including inadequate infrastructure, lack of access to essential services, and insufficient attention to the needs of marginalized groups.
There is a strong expectation that the relevant authorities will address these challenges promptly to ensure that the residents of Naugaon can benefit from effective governance and equitable development initiatives that contribute to their overall well-being and progress.


An elected representative from Mirzapur, Mrs. Abhiraji Nishad, has taken a strong stance against the premature closure of her grievance concerning the illegal liquor sale in the area. Despite the official disposition, she has formally registered her status as “Not Resolved” and “Not Satisfied.” She is launching a formal rebuttal and appeal to the highest echelons of the state government. Her objection (Grievance No. GOVUP/E/2025/0115977) is forwarded to Shri Arvind Mohan (Joint Secretary), Chief Minister Secretariat, Lucknow (Contact: 05222226350).

The Core Dispute: Flawed Enforcement and False Reporting in matter of illegal liquor sale

The appeal targets the closure of the original complaint (IGRS Grievance No. GOVUP/E/2025/0106145), which highlights significant concerns regarding the actions taken by local authorities.
Mrs. Nishad asserts that the investigation conducted by the Excise Department was merely a “formality designed to close the file,” lacking any substantive actions or consequences.
Instead of a genuine attempt to enforce the law and curb the illegal liquor trade in Village Panchayat Naugaon, the investigation was superficial, failing to address the root causes of the issue or provide any meaningful accountability.
This perceived negligence not only undermines trust in the enforcement agencies but also allows the illegal activities to continue unabated, adversely affecting the community’s safety and well-being.
Mrs. Nishad’s appeal serves as a call to action for a more thorough re-evaluation of the investigation process and a commitment to uphold the integrity of law enforcement in her village.

1. Rebuttal of the Excise Department’s Report

Mrs. Nishad directly challenges the key claims made in the Excise Department’s report (Ref. No. 341 / Eleven EIB/ I GRS / Mirzapur charge / 2025-26):

Official Excise Report ClaimComplainant’s Firm Objection (Abhiraji Nishad)
Action Taken: The team conducted raids on four specific houses.Ineffective Action: The raids lacked planning, hidden identity, and prior intelligence. The operation was superficial. It was conducted after the sellers were already “alert,” making it impossible to apprehend any offenders.
Recovery: A “no-recovery memo” was prepared, as no illegal liquor was found.Lack of Strategy: The complainant warned the team that the sellers were alert and urged them to chalk out a plan. A later, planned surprise raid is necessary. Success requires strategy and surprise, which were completely absent. This is truth of investigation of illegal liquor sale by the government staff.
Complainant’s Satisfaction: The report claims the complainant was “satisfied with the action taken.”False Claim: Mrs. Nishad was not satisfied and clearly stated that the failure to detain offenders was due to a “lack of planned strategy and dedication to the service.”

2. Allegations of Misconduct and Intimidation

The objection includes grave allegations of unprofessional conduct and pressure tactics against the investigating team:

  • The Team Head and subordinates pressurized Mrs. Nishad instead of seeking her cooperation as a public representative.
  • The officers allegedly threatened her with dismissal from her post as a Member of the Block Development Council (BDC).
  • The team’s focus was solely on pressurizing her not to submit another application instead of developing a strategy to catch the culprits. Whether government can curb illegal liquor sale with the help of such staff.

This conduct, Mrs. Nishad contends, suggests a motive to “suppress the voice against unlawful liquor sales” and close the file prematurely. It undermines both public health safety and the spirit of the UP Excise Act, 1910, and Article 47 of the Constitution.

Prayer for Relief: Request for High-Level Intervention

To address the systemic failure and alleged misconduct, Mrs. Nishad has formally requested the government to take the following decisive actions:

  1. Immediate Reopening: Re-open IGRS Grievance No. GOVUP/E/2025/0106145 and deem it still pending until genuine, result-oriented action is taken.
  2. High-Level Inquiry: Order an impartial inquiry into the conduct of the Deputy Excise Commissioner, Assistant Excise Commissioner, and the Excise Inspector team. It concerns the execution and reporting of this investigation in the matter of illegal liquor sale.
  3. New Enforcement Team: Constitute a new, dedicated, and confidential enforcement team. This team should conduct a planned, surprise operation (using hidden identity and confidential intelligence) to permanently shut down the nearly dozen unlicensed liquor operations in Village Panchayat Naugaon.

This appeal, submitted on 03/10/2025, underscores the demand for the rule of law to prevail. The efforts of elected public representatives to safeguard their communities need support, not suppression. Government must curb illegal liquor sale.
