Pune: GRP seize Rs 25 lakh in new notes from two passengers

The “suspicious movement” of the duo, on platform number 2 of Pune railway station, attracted the GRP’s attention, which nabbed them. When the GRP conducted searches, they found Rs 25 lakh in new currency notes in the duo’s possession.

The two were detained for questioning after Dwivedi and Jaiswal could not produce any satisfactory documents to explain the cash. Railway police informed the income tax department about the seizure, after which the IT department took the duo in their custody.

Meanwhile, Senior Police Inspector, GRP, Sanjay Satav said, “They told us that they got the cash from a company named Ganga Papers India Limited in Uttar Pradesh. Suspect Pramodkumar Jaiswal claims to be an employee of the company, while Manish claims to be Jaiswal’s aide. The IT department is investigating the case to ascertain why they were carrying such a huge amount by train from Varanasi to Pune.”
