RAJKOT: After Surat cops caught two garment traders earlier this month for turning into bootleggers to tide over their humongous losses owing to the pandemic-induced lockdown, an owner of a home appliances showroom in Surendranagar too was arrested on Thursday evening along with his son for similar offences under the Prohibition Act.
The father-son duo was caught selling Indian Made Foriegn Liquor (IMFL), which they claimed was to offset the losses they had incurred in their legit business and overcome the financial crisis. According to police, 95 liquor bottles worth Rs 47,500 and 134 beer bottles worth Rs 13,400 seized from the residence of Narendra Solanki (56) on bus stand road.
