Rs 40 lakh cash seized, Cyberabad cops claim it belongs to BJP leader’s aides

HYDERABAD: Cyberabad police said on Tuesday that Rs 40 lakh cash was seized from a businessman at Shamirpet during vehicle checking and hinted that the amount was meant to be distributed among Dubbak voters in favour of the BJP candidate.
Police intercepted Creta and Swift cars near Shamirpet toll gate. “Upon observing police, the driver of Creta turned the vehicle back and started driving towards Medchal at a high speed. Our team started chasing the car on ORR. Suddenly, the car stopped and one person got out with a bag and started running towards the service road. Our team chased him and caught him,” an official release issued by Balanagar DCP PV Padmaja said.
Police found Rs 40 lakh in the bag and identified the carrier as Srinivasa Babu. Cops also apprehended B Anjaneyulu, P Suresh and Majid Hussain, all residents of Patancheru. “The four men revealed that they are followers of Raghunandan Rao, BJP candidate from Dubbak,” the DCP said.
A case was booked against the four men under sections 41 and 102 of CrPC. The cash and the two cars were seized. “I do not want to say anything without looking into the documents. I have lodged a complaint with the Union home ministry to look into phone tapping by the TRS government. How can officials say they got to know about it through phone conversations,” Raghunandan Rao told TOI.
