After looking into the matter the residents were shocked to discover that the excise department's effort to destroy seized liquor had gone terribly wrong.
According to Manorama online, it all started six years ago. A bar named ¡®Rachana¡¯ located near the houses was charged with illegally storing 6,000 litres of liquor. The excise department intervened and was asked by the court to get rid of the illegal booze.

The department got rid of 6000 litres of booze in six hours by digging a pit on the bar premises and emptying one bottle after another in it. They were ignorant of the well of Solomon¡¯s Avenue Flat that was located nearby. The alcohol slowly seeped into the soil and mixed with the water.
This alcohol-water was pumped to tanks and into the houses of unfortunate residents who were really not amused.
