According to an NDTV report, ₹80 lakh in cash was seized by the police during the inspection of a suspicious car in Indore city, Madhya Pradesh, on Wednesday. The incident took place in an empty field located behind a shopping mall in the Kanadia police station area.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Amrendra Singh stated that such a large amount was found while the police were inspecting the suspicious car. In this case, the police have detained two individuals. The names of the detained persons have been identified as Tilak Gami (52 years) and Manoj Gami (44 years).

According to the police officer, both individuals are residents of the Bagli area of the neighbouring Dewas district and claim to be farmers. When the police interrogated both individuals, they stated that this money was obtained from Suresh Patel, a resident of Indore. Additionally, they claimed that the amount was income received from selling land in the Barkheda area of Dewas district.

However, both individuals were unable to produce any documents to support their claim. Consequently, the police have seized the cash as per the rules and have informed the Income Tax Department regarding this recovery.

The police are currently conducting a thorough investigation to ascertain the source of these funds and their purpose.
