Gurgaon: In the biggest single-day seizure of cash in this election season, police on Thursday seized Rs 2.84 crore from three different vehicles in separate incidents. The assembly election in Haryana is scheduled for Oct 5. The cash seized by the police was supposed to be used in the assembly elections. With the Election Commission having issued strict instructions to curb the illegal movement of drugs, liquor and cash, interstate and interdistrict checkpoints have been set up across the state, including Faridabad district. On Thursday, the district police, in collaboration with paramilitary forces, set up checkpoints at the Faridabad-Delhi border to monitor the movement of vehicles. During the checking at Sarai Toll Plaza and Shooting Range in the Surajkund Road area, police seized a total of Rs 2.84 crore. According to the police spokesperson, two vehicles were stopped at the Sarai Toll Plaza. In the first vehicle, Rs 2.51 crore in cash was found and another Rs 20 lakh was seized from a second vehicle at the same checkpoint. Meanwhile, at the Shooting Range Road checkpoint in the Surajkund area, Rs 13 lakh was recovered from a third vehicle. The drivers of these vehicles were unable to provide satisfactory explanations for carrying such large amounts of cash, leading to its seizure by the police. The seized cash has been handed over to the income tax department, which will conduct further investigations as per the regulations. The police are trying to find out the destination of the cash.
