Crime Branch Seizes ₹75 Lakh in Cash from Autorickshaw in Yavatmal

Vidarbha, Yavatmal, India: Acting on a tip-off, the local crime branch (LCB) intercepted an autorickshaw in Yavatmal on November 11, which was carrying ₹75 lakh in cash. The cash, belonging to Akola Urban Co-operative Bank, was stored in an iron box inside the black autorickshaw (MH-29/M-7154).

Suresh Nimje, Tulsidas Khekde, and Ashish Jog were travelling in the autorickshaw when the LCB team, acting on suspicion, stopped the vehicle. Upon searching it, they discovered the cash inside. The three individuals claimed that the cash belonged to the Jaju Chowk branch of Akola Urban Bank.

Although the three individuals had all the documents related to the cash, the autorickshaw carrying it was not registered in the Election Commission’s app. As a result, the special team seized the cash.

The cash was being transported by the autorickshaw to be deposited in the District Central Cooperative Bank because the vehicle registered with the bank had developed a technical issue. However, following instructions from the Election Commission, the cash has now been seized. It consists of bundles of ₹50, ₹100, ₹200, and ₹500 notes.

This action was carried out by a team consisting of API Sugat Pundage, Amol Mude, ASI Syed Sajid, Yogesh Gatlewar, Bandu Dange, Constables Ajay Aje, Rupesh Pali, Yogesh Dagwar, Nilesh Rathod, Vinod Rathod, Rituraj Medve, Devendra Hole, and Akash Suryavanshi, all under the guidance of Police Inspector Dyanoba Devkate.
