Bihar capital Patna witnessed a major cash seizure when alert police detained a duo on a Gujarat scooter, recovering ₹12 lakh from its compartment. The Thursday afternoon drama played out under Digha police jurisdiction near the iconic Jeep Setu.
During standard checks, the scooter’s foreign plates drew scrutiny. A young man and woman disembarked reluctantly, only for the search to expose a suitcase laden with currency worth ₹12,01,000.
SDPO Divyanshi Jaiswal recounted the sequence, highlighting the suspects’ inability to justify the stash. They were taken into custody on the spot, with notifications sent to superiors and Income Tax officials.
The investigation zeroes in on unraveling the cash’s provenance and purpose. Theories range from tax evasion to criminal syndicates shuttling funds. Rigorous questioning of the pair is underway.
In an era of heightened financial oversight, this bust exemplifies proactive policing. The impounded money awaits forensic analysis, promising revelations that could ripple through enforcement circles. Patna’s resolve against illicit wealth stands firm.
