The consumer also can scan the bottle to know whether it is real one or spurious liquor. He said the App will help to curb the belt shops menace also as the shop will be geo tagged.
The Chief Minister said that in Mulakalacheruvu spurious liquor case 16 persons were arrested out of total 23 accused including main accused Janardhan. He said that he suspended one TDP leader also immediately for his alleged role in the issue. He made it clear that the government will act tough on the accused irrespective of their political affiliations and there is no question of shielding any one who tried to escape in political guise.
