According to police, five trucks, which had to come to transport spirit from the sugar mill to a liquor manufacturing plant in Khurda, were stranded at the spot due to ongoing lockdown.
On the day, drivers of other trucks found the trio lying unconscious and informed the security guard of the mill.
