Gujarat Police Bust Liquor Party in Ahmedabad
In a significant enforcement action in Gujarat, police busted a liquor party in Ahmedabad, arresting 20 people, including 13 African students. The gathering, which violated the state’s strict prohibition laws, has raised concerns about adherence to legal restrictions and the awareness of students studying in India about local regulations.
Gujarat is one of India’s dry states, with stringent laws prohibiting the consumption, possession, and sale of alcohol. Authorities regularly conduct raids to enforce these regulations, and violations are met with immediate legal action. In this incident, police were tipped off about a private get-together where alcohol was being served, prompting an intervention that led to arrests and the confiscation of liquor bottles.
Officials stated that all attendees would face legal action under the state’s prohibition laws. The arrest of 13 African students has sparked discussions about cultural awareness and responsibility, as well as the need for foreign students to familiarize themselves with local rules. While the students are believed to have been unaware of the strict legal framework, authorities emphasized that ignorance of the law does not exempt anyone from enforcement.
