The police seized 25 cartons of illicit liquor and the ambulance, a senior official said.

On Thursday, police got a tip-off that an ambulance, bearing Haryana registration number, would be travelling towards Qutab Vihar area with illicit liquor, police said.

"A trap was laid and the ambulance was stopped. The accused were arrested around 9.30 am," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Anto Alphonse said.
