Gujarat Police fire shot in daring liquor chase
23 Oct
Summary
- Smugglers escaped police after a high-speed chase in Ahmedabad.
- Police fired a gunshot during the pursuit to stop the vehicle.
- An FIR was filed against four accused for attempt to murder.
An attempt by an elite Gujarat Police unit to intercept a suspected illicit liquor consignment on Thursday morning in Ahmedabad ended with the smugglers escaping. The incident began when officers spotted a white SUV suspected of carrying contraband.
When confronted, the vehicle's driver sped off, leading to a chase through city areas. The police attempted to block the SUV, but the driver maneuvered dangerously, driving on the wrong side of the road and attempting to hit officers.
Despite breaking the vehicle's windows and firing a shot at a tire, the police were unable to stop the SUV. The vehicle eventually fled the scene, evading capture.
An FIR has since been filed against four individuals, including the driver and the suspected supplier. They face charges for attempt to murder, obstruction of public servants, organized crime, and violations of liquor prohibition laws.
