Carrying booze is illegal

Was talking to Nanda on the phone and he was complaining about how tough life has become in Chennai. 'The wine shops close at eleven in the night, and I can't even buy booze and take it home!'
Apparently, when he did trying taking booze home, the cops stopped him and 'seized' the booze.
And I guess the cops have impressed upon Nanda that 'it is illegal to store liquor at home'. Nanda said that's what the law is.

I don't know what the law says. But cops checking if you bought liquor and carrying it home is, well, stupid. What's Chennai coming to (all ye Bangaloreans, you have another reason to berate Chennai!).

Any lawyers out there that can shed some light on this subject?
