Being a dry state, the transportation of liquor in Gujarat has evolved with the help of shrewd Indian jugaads. And one such method of transporting liquor in the state was recently shared by Indian industrialist Anand Mahindra.
Taking to Twitter, the chairman of the Mahindra group shared a video on Friday that showed how police in Gujarat discovered a vehicle that was smuggling a huge stash of liquor in plain sight. The one-minute thirty seconds video clip showed how several policemen seized the liquor bottles from the concealed cabinet that was under the pick-up truck. A man can be seen taking off the number plate of the vehicle from the rear side of the truck and then, with the help of a group of policemen, they managed to pull out what looks like a massive drawer of liquor collection.
Captioning the post, Anand lauded the ingenuity of the design. However, he assured that Mahindra vehicles do not come with any such clandestine designs. Calling it “Diabolically clever”, Anand said that this video just gives a whole new meaning to the word ‘Payload!’ He further mentioned that he can assure his customers that this kind of innovation was not part of the design brief for the pickup truck Product Development team at the Mahindra research centre, nor will it ever be.
The video has been viewed by 156.7k times on Twitter since it was shared on Friday, while over 9.1k likes and 1.4k retweets have been given to the post on the microblogging website.
Although smuggling of liquor is illegal, netizens were impressed by the covert way of carrying out the plan. One of the users hailed the idea as, “Zabardast jugad technology.”

One user explained the update in design in a very technical manner and wrote that the addition of a secret drawer is a “post architecture development design” that was constructed as per the client’s requirement.
