Hansot police began a probe and found that the party had been hosted by an NRI from the US in Feb.
Sub-inspector N R Parmar of Hansot police filed an FIR which states that they found a video showing Hansot police assistant sub-inspector Hitesh Parmar and driver Thakor Patel dancing at a liquor party. Police found that an Ankleshwar resident named Anis Memon had posted it on Instagram. Memon was questioned and revealed that the video was from a party hosted by Nasir Mirza, a US-based NRI, on Feb 27.
Memon said Mirza often gave him catering orders for parties and gatherings whenever he was in Bharuch. On the day the video was shot, Mirza had placed an order with Memon, who delivered it to the home of one Raeesbhai, where the party was held.
When Memon entered the room where the accused were sitting, Mirza was serving liquor to ASI Hitesh Parmar, police driver Thakor Patel, Safiq Shaikh, Raeesbhai and drinking himself.
When Hitesh Parmar was dancing, Memon recorded a video.
The video shows all the revellers with liquor glasses on the table. On June 9, Memon posted the video on Instagram.
The FIR alleges that this tarnished the image of Hansot police and all seven have been booked under Sections 66 (1)(b), 75 (a), 75 (c), 81, 83 and 86 of the Gujarat Prohibition Act.
