The Medchal police apprehended five individuals at various locations during a vehicle inspection on Saturday, on suspicion of carrying unaccounted money and gold. Substantial amounts of cash and gold ornaments were confiscated in the process.
Acting on a tip-off, the police detained businessman B. Nagender, residing near the Vivekananda statue in LB Nagar, who was found in possession of a staggering Rs 35 lakh in cash. As Nagender failed to furnish the requisite documents to justify the possession of this cash, the police promptly seized the entire amount.
In a separate incident, the police intercepted Adireddy Narsimha Reddy, hailing from the YSR district in Andhra Pradesh, who had Rs 13 lakh in cash on his person. This cash was also confiscated as Reddy could not provide any valid documentation to account for it.
At the Medchal market, the police seized Rs 5.68 lakh in cash and 180 grams of gold ornaments from an individual who could not substantiate their ownership. Additionally, two more individuals were found in possession of Rs 60,000 and Rs 62,900 during the vehicle inspection and had these amounts seized by the police.
These operations by the Medchal police highlight their diligence in combating financial impropriety and their commitment to upholding the law within the community.
