PATNA: In a first of its kind incident, a woman-son duo was arrested from their residence while consuming

at Neema palace under Gandhi Maidan police station area in the state capital on late Saturday night.

Gandhi Maidan police station SHO Sunil Kumar said that the woman was identified as Karuna Sharan (61) and the son was identified as Rajnish Sharan (36).

He said a tetra pack of 180ml of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) was recovered from the possession of the woman while a 375ml bottle of another brand of IMFL was recovered from Rajnish’s possession.

Kumar said the duo were sent to jail on Sunday.

“They were not creating any ruckus but were consuming liquor while sitting in the balcony which was visible to others. Perhaps any passer-by inside the apartment premises had spotted them and informed police about it. When police entered the apartment, the mother-son duo tried to hide liquor but failed,” police said.
