Hyderabad: The Nalgonda district police seized Rs. 3.04 crore from two people on Sunday morning at Vadapally.
Vipul Kumar Bhai aged 46, a resident of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, and Amarsinh Jala aged 52 years a resident of Mahesena in Gujarat were carrying a huge amount of cash in a vehicle and did not stop at the police checkpost.
The police team at the Madugulapally toll gate first tried to stop the vehicle but the driver did not stop and escaped.
The police then alerted the other team on the route in the Nalgonda 2 Town police station limits and one more team attempted to stop it at the Iduluguda signal. However, the driver did not stop and escaped.
“Finally, two sub-inspectors managed to stop the vehicle at the integrated check post at Vadapally.
