Headmaster in ‘inebriated’ state caught by DPEO in Gujarat’s Mahisagar, booked under Prohibition Act

When the DPEO met the headmaster, Sardar Kula Malivad (51), and asked him questions about the school, he was an alleged “unstable” condition and “unable to speak coherently”.

Suspecting that Malivad was under the influence of an intoxicant, Mori immediately called the local police and initiated a formal action against him. The headmaster was brought to the Ditwas police station where he was formally booked under the relevant sections of the Prohibition Act, according to an FIR filed by DPEO Mori, who is the complainant in the case.

Malivad was arrested after undergoing the mandatory medical tests. In the FIR, Mori said, “When I asked him to produce some files pertaining to the school, he could not do so as he was disoriented. There was a foul smell of an intoxicant as he tried to speak in a slurred speech.When I asked him for pass-permit to consume alcohol, he could not even produce the same.”
