The Gujarat police confiscated and destroyed illegal liquor estimated at ₹2 crore during a coordinated operation.
Gujarat police carried out a large‑scale operation targeting illegal liquor trade, seizing stock valued at roughly ₹2 crore. The seized bottles and containers were destroyed on site as part of the crackdown. Officials said the action aims to curb the illicit alcohol market that fuels health risks and revenue loss for the state.
The operation involved teams from the state police and the excise department, who conducted raids at multiple locations suspected of storing contraband spirits. While the exact sites were not disclosed, authorities confirmed that the seized stock represented a significant haul in recent months.
A senior police spokesperson reiterated the government's zero‑tolerance stance on unlawful liquor production and distribution, urging the public to report any suspicious activity. The destroyed stock is expected to send a strong deterrent signal to bootleggers operating in the region.
