AHMEDABAD: The Ahmedabad Police have seized a large consignment of foreign liquor concealed beneath a load of helmets and arrested a truck driver during an operation in the Narol area of the city, officials said on Monday.

Acting on specific intelligence, the PCB team stationed a watch near Sainath Parking on the S.P. Ring Road, close to Aslali Circle, and intercepted a truck for inspection late Sunday night.

During a detailed search, officers discovered a substantial quantity of foreign liquor hidden beneath 1, 053 helmets loaded in the upper portion of the vehicle.

Officials said the concealment appeared deliberately designed to evade detection during routine checks.
