Gujarat Congress leader suspended after liquor seizure from residence

A Congress leader in Gujarat has been suspended after liquor bottles and beer cans estimated to be valued at around ₹95,700 were recovered from his residence following a police raid. 

Mahendrasinh Parmar, the president of the Congress unit in Gujarat’s Anklav, apart from facing suspension, was also removed from all party positions, a Congress leader said today.

The raid on Parmar’s residence resulted in the confiscation of foreign liquor and beer cans.

The police said the seized items included 107 liquor bottles valued at ₹53,500 and 96 cans priced at ₹9,600.

Amit Chavda, Leader of the Congress Legislative Party said, “Parmar was detained due to suspected immoral activities during a liquor-related raid. The district Congress committee acted swiftly, ensuring that he was suspended from all official capacities within the party. We maintain a clear stance that guilt will not be overlooked based on community, party affiliation, or caste.”

Alongside Parmar, two other individuals have been booked in connection with this case.
