Chandigarh, March 20

Businessman Anand Mahindra shared a video on Friday which showed a transport van with a pull-out storage tray containing bottles of alcohol hiding in plain sight. 

Mahindra called this “diabolically clever”. The businessman also said that this won’t be a part of product development at his company’s research centre.

Mahindra, who is known to share interesting videos on his Twitter feed, appeared surprised. And understandably so. “Diabolically clever. Gives a whole new meaning to the word ‘Payload!’” he wrote. “But I assure you this kind of innovation was not part of the design brief for the pickup truck Product Development team at our research centre, nor will it EVER be!”

As per the vehicle’s numberplate, The video appears to be from Gujarat.

Gujarat has a complete ban on alcohol, but there have been numerous reports of illegal transportation, and selling of liquor. 

In this clip, officials were seen taking off the numberplate before pulling out a storage sheet from under the main cargo area of the vehicle. 

That’s when the real contents of the vehicle are seen—multiple crates of beer, several whiskeys and vodka bottles, among others.
