Chapter 12 : Strike on Bootleggers
Gujarat has been the birthland and the realm of actions
of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi gave an important place to prohibition of alcohol in
the constructive programs. During his movement, there was a widespread
propaganda in the society about banning the alcohol. Many women used to go
picket numerous liquor shops. Due to the impact of Gandhiji's ideology, ban on liquor
has been introduced in Gujarat, but many anti-social people as well as drunken
drug addicts continue to defame Gujarat by smuggling liquor.
Additionally, Aravalli district is situated at the borders of Rajasthan.
So, the notorious bootleggers are always in a search of chance to misuse the
Aravalli routes for smuggling liquor. Aravalli District Police is determined to
discipline such notorious bootleggers. There are many instances of bootleggers,
who are pestered by the strict police, carrying out some fatal attacks on
policemen. Once, at night time, the bootleggers had driven over a PSI officer who
was inspecting the vehicles at Rajasthan border. He was seriously injured in that
incident and died during treatment. Martyrdom of that brave policeman is
unforgettable for the district police.
The district police heavily knocked down the liquor
smugglers and bootleggers. In a couple of years, the police have seized all
types of liquor along with the vehicles worth crores of rupees and have arrested
those notorious bootleggers.
The police have worked their
fingers to the bone to prevent the smuggling of alcohol and other intoxicants.
The police have tightened their patrolling around borders of Rajasthan and have
given a stern warning to all the bootleggers. During the last three years, the
district police has registered a total of 9863 cases of prohibition and has
segregated a total of 454 cases as quality cases. Thus, they have provided an
excellent example by taking strict action. The district police chief Sanjay
Kharat did not even spare the police if anyone was suspected to be involved in
the smuggling of liquor. Serious actions such as suspension were taken against
the policemen for disgracing the police uniform by cahooting with the
bootleggers.
