The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 was an event that was long awaited by fans all around the world. It was held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and the who's who of the glamour and sports world were present. Unfortunately, a controversy has arisen regarding an allegation put forward by one of the spectators.
The man alleged that he was stopped at a checkpoint while carrying a bottle of Absolut Vodka in his car. Gujarat is a dry state, and the possession of liquor is strongly prohibited. He also alleged that the people at the checkpoint surrounded him and his friend, along with his driver, and snatched their phones. He further stated that four to five people were present and that the challan ranged from Rs 40,000 to Rs 2 lakhs.
The man also claimed that he was harassed and that the men kept negotiating and taking him here and there, and even warned them of taking them to the police station. He said that he was finally released on a bribe of Rs 20,000 which he paid via UPI.
The incident was caught on video and shared on Twitter by Shantanu on November 20, 2023. The tweet reads: "Ahmedabad Police took ₹20000 as bribe through UPI from a man for carrying alcohol in his car. Reality of corruption free dry state".
This incident has been followed by another, as two senior ED officials were nabbed by the CBI for accepting a bribe in Ahmedabad in a corruption case. Such incidents only highlight the fact that the reality of corruption in Gujarat is far from what we perceive.
