Jamnagar Women Call 112 on Drunken Husbands: Police File Cases Under Prohibition Act

Two women in Gujarat’s Jamnagar district handed their intoxicated husbands over to the police after the men created severe disturbances in their respective homes, officials confirmed.

The City ‘C’ Division Police in Jamnagar registered a case under Sections 66(1)(b) and 85 of the Gujarat Prohibition Act against 58-year-old Lakhmanbhai Devabhai Solanki. The action followed an emergency call made by his wife, Amritben, who contacted the 112 helpline when Solanki stormed into their house in a heavily intoxicated state.

The incident took place in Gayatrinagar Street No. 1, located near the Woolenmill Mahakali Circle area of Jamnagar city. Amritben alerted the emergency services after Solanki began causing a disturbance inside the family home, prompting quick intervention from local authorities.

Police Respond to Woolenmill Call

Upon receiving the 112 call, a dispatch team reached the residence and brought both Solanki and his wife to the City ‘C’ Division Police Station for further enquiry.

Official reports noted that Solanki was stammering, slurring his speech, and exhaling a strong smell of liquid substance. His eyes appeared distinctly red from intoxication, and he was staggering severely, failing to maintain physical balance while attempting to walk.

Based on the formal complaint submitted by Amritben Lakhmanbhai Solanki, officers formally booked him under the state's anti-liquor regulations and initiated legal proceedings.

Similar Disturbance Reported in Dhrol

In a separate but striking parallel incident in Latipar village within Dhrol taluka of Jamnagar district, Dhrol police initiated legal action under Sections 66(1)(b) and 85(1) of the Prohibition Act against 40-year-old agricultural worker Rajeshbhai Lakhmanbhai Dasotia.

The matter came to light when his wife, Anjuben Rajeshbhai Dasotia, dialed the emergency 112 helpline to report her husband's disruptive behavior. Anjuben informed the control room that Rajeshbhai had returned home intoxicated and was creating chaos by babbling and talking nonsense continuously.

Intoxicated Man Taken to Station

Following the emergency transmission, the Dhrol police team on duty moved swiftly to Latipar village, located near Dhrol, and picked up Rajeshbhai directly from his house. He was subsequently transported to the Dhrol Police Station for official processing and medical evaluation. While interacting with Rajeshbhai at the station, investigating personnel recorded that he was babbling incoherently and smelling strongly of liquid drink. The police team also documented that the accused was entirely unable to keep his balance or walk in a straight line.

Following the verification of his physical state and the official statement recorded by his wife Anjuben, Dhrol Police officially registered the case and took necessary legal measures.
