THE Andhra Pradesh State Excise officers have an innovative investment idea. The officers and liquor syndicates are hands in glove in evasion and cheating. The excise officers get a good cut in the illegal operations. Where do they invest this black money? Plough it back into the illicit trade by financing it for a decent interest. A head Constable had given a loan of Rs. 53 Lakhs to a syndicate and a junior officer had given a loan of Rs. 2.44 Crores, according to the State ACB.
