Ahmedabad: Three months after stocks of purported ayurvedic medicine with alcohol content above 12% were seized from a paan shop on Moraiya, Changodar police have registered a complaint and arrested three persons under prohibition laws.
The complaint was filed on Saturday against owner of the paan shop, the man who ran it and the supplier of the syrups, labelled Sunnindra Asavarishta and Stone Heal.The alcohol content in these was found to be nearly 14%.
According to the FIR filed with Changodar police by PSI Sadiq Shaikh, police had on August 7 raided the paan shop in Moraiya village following a tip-off on sale of alcoholic substances.
Three boxes containing 104 bottles of 400ml each were found from the possession of Sandip Baranda, 20, who ran the paan shop. After Baranda’s arrest, police later nabbed Nirmal Patel, the shop’s owner, from Sanand and Sunil Pagi, the supplier, from Bavla.
Changodar police inspector Ramesh Gojia said cops had registered an application of complaint at the time of the raid and samples of the syrups were sent for forensic examination.
“We have filed a complaint under the Prohibition Act after the forensic examination revealed that Stone Heel had 13.63% alcohol content and Sunnindra Asavarishta had 14.48%,” said Gojia.
Stocking and selling ayurvedic remedies with over 12% alcohol content is an offence.
A manufacturing unit in Dadra Nagar Haveli is also under the scanner in the case.
Recently, the Gujarat high court had refused to intervene in a quashing petition filed by a company from Bhavnagar that deals in herbal products, after Gujarat police slapped prohibition charges against two of its stockists for storing and selling ayurvedic syrups with alcohol content greater than 12%.
