Ahmedabad, India
Acting on a tip–off, Ahmedabad crime branch officials were keeping a vigil on the routes of illicit liquor into the city. According to the informers’ network of the crime branch officials, Indian–made foreign liquor (IMFL) was being ferried into the city in private cars.
The crime branch officials kept a watch near Narol–Naroda highway. An Accent car, driven at a break–neck speed, was stopped and searched. “We recovered 400 bottles of IMFL from the car. The car driver, Ghanshyam Fiyani, has been arrested,” said a crime branch officer.
Police officials said that the Fiyani is a historysheeter and was arrested in 1998 for killing a man. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
After he came out of jail, he had helped an undertrial escape from police custody. In 2006 and 2007, two separate complaints of attempt to murder were lodged against him at Vatva and Kagdapith police stations.
