The National Sports Club of India NSCI has reported that more than Rs 15 lakh worth foreign liquor is allegedly missing from its premises since the lockdown began. The Excise Department has sealed the bar department. The incident comes a few days after alcohol worth over Rs 1 lakh was reported stolen from the Malabar Hill Club.

Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh and the Excise Department received a complaint on Sunday regarding illegal alcohol being allegedly supplied outside the club by the committee members. While Excise Department officers sealed the liquor department after primary investigation, they cannot go back for a detailed probe as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation BMC uses the premises of the club as a quarantine centre for COVID-19 patients.
