Ahmedabad, Aug 12
Ahmedabad Police have seized illegal liquor valued at Rs 54 lakh from SP Sing Road in Gujarat's Ahmedabad.
The Zone 7 Local Crime Branch (LCB) team recovered 15,456 bottles of fake Indian liquor.
Acting on a confidential tip-off about the arrival of large quantities of illicit liquor in the city ahead of upcoming festivals, the Ahmedabad Police and Zone 7 LCB launched a targeted operation.
The container was found hidden in the parking area, leading to its seizure and the arrest of the involved parties.
A case has been registered at Changodar Police Station under relevant laws, and further investigation is underway.
The police have informed district authorities to coordinate subsequent action.
This significant seizure comes amid ongoing efforts to crack down on illegal liquor trafficking, which often increases during festive seasons.
In 2025, Gujarat has stepped up its crackdown on illegal liquor trafficking, resulting in the seizure of thousands of litres of illicit and spurious alcohol across the state.
Coordinated raids by the Excise Department and police have confiscated over 10,000 litres of illegal liquor in the first half of the year alone.
