AFTER the Dhantoli Police made a major cash seizure on Wednesday, the Ambazari Police made another cash haul within their jurisdiction, on Friday. The money belonged to a steel supplier. Later, cops released the cash but after conducting panchanama. According to sources, acting on a tip-off, Ambazari Police team identified the scooterist near Shankar Nagar, and detained him. During the search, the police discovered a substantial amount of cash in the scooter’s utility box. As the rider was unable to provide satisfactory answers, the police took him along with the scooter to the police station. Senior Police Inspector Vinayak Golhe confirmed the information and stated that the cash was brought to the police station, where panchanama was conducted, and a diary entry was made. The seized Rs 15 lakh cash belonged to one Waswani, a steel business operator in Kalamna area.

 

He had supplied materials to a person in Hingna area, and the cash was related to this transaction. Later, the cash was released but only after Waswani provided a satisfactory explanation, Sr PI Golhe stated. It may be noted that this is the second major cash haul in Zone II of Nagpur City Police in a span of three days. Dhantoli Police had seized a large sum of unaccounted cash during routine nakabandi on Wednesday night. The cash, amounting to several lakh rupees, was found hidden in two bags inside a car. Despite the seizure, the cash was later released, which raised many eyebrows. Dhantoli Police were conducting nakabandi on DP Road in Deonagar area when they stopped a four-wheeler for a routine check. Upon inspection, officers discovered a large sum in cash concealed in two bags. The driver was unable to provide satisfactory answers regarding the source of the money, so both driver and the vehicle were taken to Dhantoli Police Station. Later, the cash was released by the police under the instructions of a senior officer.
