On Sunday night, officials from the Commissioner’s Task Force apprehended a person carrying unaccounted cash totaling Rs. 89 lakh in Jubilee Hills.
After receiving information, the team apprehended the man while he was transporting the cash in a car on Road No. 79 in Jubilee Hills. The cash was seized just three days before the Munugode bypoll in Telangana.
When questioned about the source of the cash, the accused failed to produce valid documents. The cash was confiscated and turned over to the Jubilee Hills police station. A case was filed in this regard and an investigation was launched to find out if the cash was being taken to Munugode in view of the by-election.
In another recent case, the Panjagutta police arrested two people in Banjara Hills on Thursday for carrying unaccounted cash worth Rs 70,00,000.

The accused were identified as P Kishan Rao, a Huzurabad native, and Ramesh, 26. Rao is a Nizam College assistant professor and a former member of the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). It was reported that Rao obtained the money from a man named Madhu.
They were arrested because they couldn’t provide compelling reasons for carrying the cash. After recording the accused’s confession, the police seized the cash and the car in which they were traveling, as well as two mobile phones.
An investigation is underway after a case was booked under section 102 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC Section 102: seizure of objects on suspicion of theft).
It is worth noting that the city police seized crores of rupees in unaccounted or ‘Hawala’ cash in the run-up to the Munugode by-election. According to reports, police officers in the Munugode assembly constituency so far have seized Rs 2.65 crore in cash, 1480 liters of liquor, and various other items.
