Inspired by a Bollywood flick, three unemployed men started supplying illicit liquor in an ambulance but were arrested in south Delhi after an unwarranted use of the siren alerted the police, an official said on Thursday.

Parvinder Yadav, Rakesh and Jitender, all aged around 25-26 and hailing from Haryana, were arrested on Wednesday night from Malviya Nagar area of south Delhi, a police official said.

The suspicion of the police was aroused after the accused sounded the siren of the ambulance while it was cruising on a traffic-free road. Police chased and arrested them and seized 21 boxes of liquor from the ambulance.

They told police that they started the illegal activity after being inspired by film Once Upon a Time.

Atul Kumar Verma, station house officer of Malviya Nagar, said the accused were illegally selling liquor in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan after buying it from Gurgaon.

"They were involved in the business for one year. Yadav was earlier employed as an ambulance driver in a hospital run by private doctor B.V. Kapoor in Gurgaon," he said.

They have been sent to judicial custody, Verma said.
