Start here

Report illegal liquor or illegal mining with the exact place and, if safe, photographs to the police and the excise or mining department.

Who is responsible

  • Station House Officer (SHO) / Police StationOfficer in charge of a police station in Bihar, responsible for FIR registration, investigation and first response.
  • Home Department, Bihar (Police)Police administration, law and order, crime records, emergency response and citizen policing services in Bihar.

Illegal liquor is handled by the police together with the excise department, while illegal sand or mineral digging is handled by the mining and geology side, so the report should go to both rather than only one. Photographs help, but personal safety comes first and an anonymous or named report without going to the spot is acceptable.
