Junagadh, Gujarat:
Ahead of the local body polls in Gujarat, the police have seized 107 bottles of liquor, worth around Rs 62,000, sent to Junagadh from Uttar Pradesh through a courier service, an official said on Sunday.
Gujarat is a dry state where manufacture, sale and consumption of liquor is banned, and bootleggers are now using a new strategy of bringing in liquor through inter-state courier services, the police said.
Acting on a tip-off, the local crime branch and B-division police conducted a raid on a courier service firm on Saturday and found 107 bottles of Indian-made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) worth around Rs 62,000 packed in eight parcels, sent from Bahadurgarh in Uttar Pradesh, the official said.
