Police official Dilipsingh Baldev said, one of the accused had to call a local veterinarian when their buffaloes started acting strangely and their mouths started frothing.

The vet then inspected the water trough that the buffaloes were drinking from and figured out that the water smelled different and also had a slightly different colour.

It was later found that the three farmers had hidden bottles of illicit alcohol in a trough and some of them had broken which led to contamination of water.

The vet then informed the police and then the police recovered around 100 bottles of alcohol worth Rs 32,000.

However, the three farmers were later arrested.

Gujarat had banned the consumption of alcohol in 1960 as a homage to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Since then Gujarat has witnessed several cases of alcohol poisoning which has claimed the lives of more than 400 people after the ban was enforced.

In Gujarat, making, buying, selling, or transporting alcohol is a punishable offense, and people who are found guilty have to bear hefty fines and even prison sentences.
