Authorities Seize Large Quantities of Illicit Liquor and Methamphetamine in Separate Operations
Law enforcement agencies in Gujarat and Mizoram recently conducted successful raids resulting in the seizure of illegal substances and multiple arrests. Authorities confiscated liquor valued at Rs 1.2 crore in Banaskantha and methamphetamine valued at Rs 45 crore from an ambulance.
In two separate law enforcement actions, authorities have intercepted significant quantities of illegal goods. In Gujarat’s Banaskantha district, police seized a shipment of liquor valued at approximately Rs 1.2 crore. The operation took place near the Un village overbridge on National Highway 27. Two men from Rajasthan were taken into custody in connection with the transport of the alcohol, which is prohibited under the state's strict liquor laws.
Separately, in Mizoram, officials intercepted an ambulance carrying a large quantity of methamphetamine. The street value of the seized drugs is estimated at Rs 45 crore. During this operation, three individuals were arrested, including a woman who had been posing as a patient inside the vehicle to evade detection. The ambulance used in the smuggling attempt was also seized by authorities. While both reports detail successful interdictions by law enforcement, they highlight different methods of illicit transport—one involving standard highway transit and the other utilizing emergency service vehicles to bypass security checks.
