Some 3,000 liters of alcohol seized from three dealers in Kabul, Afghanistan, were thrown in a canal by the country’s intelligence agents, Independent reported.
The General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) tweeted: “A special operational unit... arrested three liquor dealers in the Kart-e-Char area of Kabul with about 3,000 litres of alcohol, according to a series of credible intelligence reports.”

The GDI added: “The seized liquor was destroyed and the liquor sellers were handed over to the judiciary.”

The video released by the GDI showed its agents draining barrels in a canal.

The video also showed the arrested dealers in handcuffs with a team of special agents keeping guard over a row of blue-colored barrels containing alcohol.
A religious leader who was identified as Sheikh Zahoorullah said in the video that “Muslims have to seriously abstain from making and delivering alcohol.”
Drinking alcohol is prohibited in Islam. And even under the previous Western-backed regime, selling or consumption of liquor was banned in Afghanistan.
It was reported that the raids on alcohol dealers and drug addicts have increased in the country since the Taliban took over in August last year.
