Women storm liquor shop, loot bottles
HYDERABAD: A group of women demanding closure of a newly-opened wine shop in Saidappa Basti in Film Nagar stormed the premises and destroyed and looted Rs 15 lakh worth bottles on Sunday evening. 
The owner of the shop, P Pramod Kumar, had got the licence to run the liquor shop in the auctions held recently. "Before the shell-shocked staff could react, around 100 women barged into the shop and began destroying bottles and some of them even took away the more expensive liquor bottles. The shop owner said that he had opened the shop on Sunday with Rs 20 lakh worth stock and at least Rs 15 lakh worth goods were lost," Banjara Hills sub-inspector (SI) M Venkateswar Rao said.
Though Pramod Kumar refused to comment on the possible motive of the attack, local police said that it was an act of revenge by a local politician whose candidate had lost in the draw conducted for the shop's licence.
No police complaint was lodged by the shop owner.
