Gujarat Police Bust Fake Liquor Factory in Kutch, Seize Thousands of Bottles and Chemicals
Police in Gujarat's Kutch district uncovered a fake liquor factory in Adipur, seizing around 10,000 bottles resembling a known Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) brand, over 600 litres of chemicals, and related equipment. Two men from Mumbai and Mathura were arrested and placed under remand. This operation follows a spurious liquor tragedy in Bhavnagar district, where methanol-laced liquor caused multiple deaths. Authorities are investigating the source of chemicals and the network behind the illicit liquor production.
