Liquor was also delivered to the bootleggers from the railway station the next day after the report was published. Bootleggers are supplying liquor without fear of the police by putting the 'AR' symbol on the travel bags. On Tuesday too, Bhaskar received information about the trolley bag and liquor in the train. Arvind alias Chaddo and Kanu from Vapi give liquor to Riyaz Shaikh of Vadodara and send it to bootleggers from there. With the connivance of the railway and the city police, the punters of the bootleggers, who smuggled liquor, spread the word that our liquor and rickshaw would not stop anywhere. The bags with the 'AR' symbol of liquor got off at the railway station. Neither the railways nor the local police stopped them. Bootleggers are no longer afraid of SMC.
