Police have registered a case against two persons for carrying tokens allegedly provided by a political party supporter to take delivery of liquor bottles from local vends.
A case was yesterday registered against Gursewak Singh of Kot Ise Khan and Tehal Singh of Fatehgarh Panjtoor.
An excise official, who had seized 36 such tokens, had filed a complaint in this regard.
The elections to the 117-seat Punjab Assembly will take place on January 30.
The excise department had earlier received complaints that some candidates were trying to influence voters by offering them free liquor.
On Thursday, the department had seized about 131 cartons of liquor belonging to the vend owner of Kokari Kalan as these boxes were kept at an unauthorised place. Another 54 cartons were seized from Sadhanwali Basti Moga.
About a fortnight back, a similar raid was carried out at the house of a woman, who was acting as a courier, in which police had seized eight cartons of liquor.
