Booze smuggling racket busted, 9 women held
Ahmedabad Mirror
|August 15, 2025
They were carrying liquor in 15 bags, each weighing 10 kg
Crime Branch officers were caught off guard on Wednesday when their raid near Raipur Darwaja netted not burly men with getaway bikes, but nine women, each lugging heavy bags stuffed with alcohol.
According to officials, the unusual bust unfolded after a tip-off about women from the Kagdapith area being used to transport Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). The smugglers' gamble was simple, the chances of women being stopped and thoroughly searched were far lower than for men.
