KOLKATA: The Special Task Force (STF) of the West Bengal Police on Monday seized cash amounting to Rs 5 crore from a car near Akanksha Crossing in New Town and arrested two persons, including the vehicle’s owner.
The seizure was made following a tip-off from a confidential source.
Two people, including the owner of the car, have been arrested in connection with the incident, police said, adding that an investigation is underway.
Police said that the money was being brought from the New Town area. Sources said Bengal STF is searching for the source of the money.
The recovery of such a large amount of money while checking the car has raised concerns, especially ahead of next year's state Assembly polls.
