The Gujarat State Monitoring Cell, acting under the orders of DGP G.S. Malik, has accelerated actions against unlawful alcohol trade and gambling across the state. Recent raids, including the high‑profile Ahmedabad seizure, demonstrate a coordinated strategy to dismantle networks involved in smuggling IMFL and other prohibited goods.
Authorities have issued look‑outs for five individuals linked to the latest case, with two named suspects from Botad and Surendranagar districts accused of arranging and transporting the confiscated liquor. The broader campaign aims to enforce the Gujarat Prohibition Act more stringently and deter future violations.
