In a dramatic chase on the night of September 27 in Ahmedabad, police intercepted a bootlegger’s car near Sanand’s Shantipura Circle, transporting Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) from Viramgam, leading to the seizure of 1,200 bottles.

Acting on a tip-off, PI M C Chowdhury from the PCB had deployed a team led by PSI V D Khant to intercept the vehicle.

The bootlegger, later identified as Ramesh Bishnoi from Jhalor, Rajasthan, refused to stop at the police barricade and instead rammed into two vehicles, including a police car, during the pursuit.

The chase ended near Sanathal Circle, where Bishnoi’s vehicle was forced to a stop, and the liquor was confiscated.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the illicit liquor had been procured from a bootlegger named Lalbhai in Sanchore and was en route to be supplied to one Surendra Singh Bhati in Naroda.

Bishnoi, injured during the incident, was sent to the Civil Hospital for treatment. Authorities have registered a formal complaint at the Sarkhej police station, and further investigation is underway.
