The operation was conducted at the Moje Ghuma Greenwood Bungalow compound on April 3.

Acting on directives, the raid was carried out based on a tip-off. According to sources, senior officials received intelligence from an informant who reported that a suspicious car carrying illegal liquor was heading towards the Ghuma area. In response, officials discreetly monitored the location to intercept the vehicle.

Upon spotting the car, officials initiated a chase. However, the driver, upon noticing the police, abandoned the vehicle in an isolated area and fled the scene.

According to officials, there were two occupants in the car, both of whom escaped.

The liquor was discovered inside the Mahindra Scorpio, which had been left at the site. The police swiftly secured the area and conducted a thorough search, leading to the seizure of the illicit stock.

As per police reports, the car bore a Jamnagar registration, and it is believed that the accused were planning to deliver the consignment to a recipient in Ahmedabad.

However, before the transaction could take place, the police successfully seized the contraband. Officials have now launched an investigation to trace the owner of the vehicle and identify the two individuals involved in the attempted delivery.
