2 Women, 4 Men, Room 443: Gujarat Man Tips Off Cops To Daughter-In-Law's Illegal Booze Bash
Last Updated: Police said the caller's daughter-in-law had marital issues, and to 'teach her a lesson,' the father-in-law tracked her, found out about the liquor party, and tipped off police On Friendship Day, a shocking case of personal revenge came to light in Surat after police raided a hotel room at the 'Weekend Address' following a tip-off about an illegal liquor party. While Gujarat strictly prohibits alcohol consumption, what caught attention was that the police raid at the hotel was based on a personal tip-off, leading to the bust. The police arrested four men and two women, aged between 23 and 25, for indulging in a liquor party. All six were taken into custody. According to the police, all the accused were found in an inebriated state at the time of the raid. A half-filled liquor bottle and four glasses were seized from the hotel room, which had been rented to celebrate Friendship Day. All six individuals were taken to the civil hospital for blood tests, where the presence of alcohol was confirmed in each of them. According to the police, the caller's daughter-in-law had been facing issues in her marriage and was not on good terms with her husband. In an apparent attempt to 'teach her a lesson," the father-in-law allegedly followed her, learned about the liquor party, and informed the police, leading to the raid and her subsequent arrest. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Imphal: In a sustained series of operations, the Army and Assam Rifles units in close coordination with Manipur Police and other security forces arrested 15 active insurgent cadres and recovered 69 weapons, 16 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and varied ammunition, officials said on Monday. Defence Spokesman Lt Col Amit Shukla said that based on specific information, combined forces conducted a series of raids during the past few days in Churachandpur, as well as Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur and Thoubal districts and apprehended 15 hardcore militants and recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition. The arrested militants belonged to four banned militant outfits -- United National Liberation Front (UNLF), Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), and People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK). According to Lt Col Shukla, the joint forces recovered 69 various types of weapons, 16 IEDs, a few grenades, other ammunition, radio sets, and other war-like stores. These also included earlier looted service weapons, country-made arms, and explosives capable of causing mass casualties. These coordinated actions underscore the firm resolve of the security forces to maintain peace and stability in the region while preventing the resurgence of insurgent activities, the defence spokesman said. Meanwhile, a senior Manipur police official said earlier in the day that ten more militants of different banned outfits were arrested during the past 24 hours by the joint forces. The ten militants arrested in three districts -- Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur -- belonged to various factions of the KCP and PREPAK. Security personnel recovered pistols and various materials, including several mobile handsets, various documents, and some ammunition, from the possession of the arrested militants.
