In a significant operation, the Local Crime Branch (LCB) of Banaskantha seized a large quantity of foreign liquor in Dantiwada. The police conducted a check on the Dairy Road near Vavdhar and stopped a car with the registration number GJ09BG4389. During this operation, they confiscated foreign liquor worth ₹6.01 lakh and 1,611 bottles of beer. The suspect, Kishanbhai Mohanbhai Mali, a resident of Atal in Dantiwada, was arrested.
The police also seized two mobile phones valued at ₹50,000 and the car itself, which is worth ₹6.50 lakh. The total value of the confiscated items amounts to ₹13.01 lakh.
Several other suspects are currently on the run. These include Gulabsinh Vaghela, Cheharsinh Vaghela, Ganpatsinh Devda, Sunilsinh Jhala, Situsingh Vaghela, and Nirvansinh Vaghela. They are believed to have conspired to smuggle liquor from Bherugadh in Rajasthan into Gujarat. The operation was carried out under the guidance of Banaskantha Superintendent of Police Akshayraj and LCB PI A.V. Desai. Legal proceedings have begun at the Dantiwada police station regarding this case.
The crackdown on illegal liquor trade reflects the ongoing efforts by the police to curb such activities in the region. This incident is part of a larger trend where the LCB and local police have been actively pursuing and raiding locations suspected of housing illegal liquor. The authorities are determined to keep the streets safe and free from illegal activities while ensuring proper law enforcement.
In recent weeks, there have been numerous reports of illegal liquor being smuggled into Gujarat. The police have intensified their patrols and checks, especially in areas known for such activities. This includes rural areas where liquor is often hidden and sold without proper licenses.
The arrest of Kishanbhai Mali is a part of the police’s strategy to dismantle networks involved in the illegal liquor trade. With many suspects still at large, the police have called on the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
In conclusion, the recent seizure of foreign liquor in Dantiwada is a reminder of the ongoing battle against illegal alcohol in Gujarat. The police’s proactive approach aims to protect the community and ensure that laws are upheld. This case serves as a crucial step in the fight against the smuggling of illegal substances in the state.
