Acting on a tip-off, a team from the excise department raided some houses in Kuchbandia Mohalla, but later turned its attention to a government-run primary school in the locality under Ghamapur police station, said investigating officer J L Maravi, who led the operation.

"During a search at the school building, we found 5,000 litres of country-made alcohol stored in 200 containers," the official said. While the liquor has been disposed, a probe is underway to zero in on the brewers, he added.
