Saudi authorities have busted an underground liquor factory run by Indian nationals, arresting two men and seizing huge quantities of liquor and equipment used for packaging, a media report said.

The alcohol was smuggled in from a neighbouring country and then packaged at the factory, the Saudi Gazette said. "Inspectors from the department foiled attempts to mix liquor with Dettol to change its colour and con customers into thinking it was foreign liquor," said Spokesman of Anti-Drug Department in the Eastern Province, Col Salman Al-Nashwan.
