Woman Bootlegger Confesses, Out On Bail

Woman Bootlegger Confesses, Out On Bail 25 Jan 2009, 0357 hrs IST, TNN Text: Ahmedabad : "Yes, I sell liquor." This bold confession from a 30-year old woman baffled the magistrate. But it disturbed her advocate the most. However, the court allowed her to go on bail after slapping a fine of Rs 400. Sunitakaur Gill was arrested on Saturday morning from her house at Sardar on Tekro in Juna Wadaj area by Naranpura police. Police found her in possession of 10 litres of country-made liquor worth Rs 200. Police arrested her and produced her in the metropolitan court in the evening. In the meantime, she managed to hire an advocate also, who filed a bail plea for her. But, when her turn came, the public prosecutor SD Bhavsar didn't want to offend her and was polite enough to ask her about her business, to which she replied that she is a homemaker. And before he could proceed, Sunita's advocate loudly asked, "Do you sell liquor?" The high pitch of the advocate confused her and she confessed her crime before the magistrate. Everybody realised that the advocate's direct questioning had misfired. Now, he had the only option left to plead for bail without any argument. Magistrate RD Adhvaryu imposed fine of Rs 400 on her for the offence.
