After the toxic syrup scandal at Kheda, the Ahmedabad police unveiled another episode of toxic syrup from Vataman Chokdi.

Acting on a tip, the Ahmedabad Rural Special Operation Group (SOG) kept a watch on Vataman Chokdi, which is an hour or half an hour away from Ahmedabad.

On checking a rickshaw at the check post, five boxes of syrup named triprolidine syrup, usually used to cure coughs and colds, were recovered.

The syrup includes an ingredient called codeine phosphate, which is made from opium or morphine.

The police seized 590 bottles worth ₹88,500 from the rickshaw. The Ahmedabad SOG arrested Narendra Panchal (a resident of Fatehpura in Vadodara) and auto driver Shakil Salim Shaikh (a resident of Ajwa Road in Vadodara).

In the investigation, the police traced the roots of the consignment owned by a person named Raju, in the godown of the Uttung apartment Subhanpura, Vadodara.

Raju has been declared wanted, and  Vadodara police have also initiated the investigation.
