AHMEDABAD: Recovery of beer tins and high-end whisky from the basement of west zone office of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation at Bodakdev on Friday raised many eyebrows as to how the liquor consignment was brought there despite round-the-clock presence of security guards.

“It is a fact that liquor bottles and beer tins have been found in the basement. We feel someone might have dumped them there for mischief. It is a repeat of the incident that took place there two years ago. We are investigating, but have decided to replace the security guards who were on duty,” says Vipul Mehta , deputy municipal commissioner, New West Zone.

Reports of liquor bottles inside the premises of municipal corporation started to make rounds on Friday morning. Security personnel found at least 10 beer cans and three bottles of whisky and Vodka in the basement.

Civic officials said these were high-end bottles indicating that some people may have partied in the office premises and dumped the remaining in the basement. They said the officials are scanning the video footages to see if anyone can be seen taking the bottles to the basement.

Liquor bottles were found in the basement in September 2015 too. Then the bottles were left in the garbage bins. tnn
