Videos Showing Illegal Liquor Sale Go Viral in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar: Country Liquor Sold Near Shrine, Beer From Handcart

Videos allegedly showing open sale of illegal liquor at multiple locations in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar area have gone viral on social media ahead of Diwali, raising questions over police action against liquor vendors operating openly in the city.

The videos reportedly show beer cans being sold from a roadside handcart and country liquor pouches being sold near a religious shrine. Locations mentioned include Varun Rohidas Crossroads, Kalapinagar, Sai Baba Society and several other neighbourhoods.

Beer Sold From Handcart, Country Liquor Near Shrine

According to the viral footage, illegal liquor sales are allegedly taking place at several locations across Meghaninagar and surrounding areas.

The locations identified in the videos include Varun Rohidas Crossroads, Kalapinagar, Sai Baba Society near the railway colony, Nagraj Madrasi ni Chali and the area beneath Rameshwar Bridge.

One video reportedly shows beer cans being sold openly from a roadside handcart. Another shows a man allegedly selling country liquor pouches while sitting near a Mataji shrine.

The footage has drawn attention because the alleged sales appear to be taking place openly in residential and public areas.

Meghaninagar Police Inspector's Response Raises Questions

The matter has also brought the local police under scrutiny. When Gujarat Samachar contacted the Meghaninagar Police Inspector for a response to the viral videos, the officer reportedly replied, "Okay, fine."

The brief response has raised questions about the police department's approach to the allegations.

With videos claiming to show illegal liquor sales at multiple locations circulating on social media, attention is now on whether the police will identify the people involved and initiate action.

No details of any specific police action against the alleged vendors were reported in the news report.
