52 kg Gold, Rs 10 Crore Cash Found In Abandoned Innova In Bhopal Jungle
Gold and cash worth crores have been seized in separate raids by the Income Tax department and the Lokayukta Police in Bhopal, bringing under the spotlight an alleged nexus involving politicians, government officers, and real estate entities.
The most dramatic discovery was that of 52 kg gold biscuits worth over ₹ 40 crore and ₹ 10 crore in cash from an abandoned Innova car. The car was spotted in the Mendori forest on the city's outskirts following inputs that gold was being transported via forest route. A team of 100 policemen and 30 police vehicles surrounded the car to not let it escape, but when searched, they found no one inside - except two bags stashed with the gold and bundles of cash.
