Kolkata Police Seize Rs 16.3 Lakh in Unaccounted Cash in Two Separate Raids
In a significant crackdown on illicit financial activities, Kolkata police have seized a total of Rs 16.3 lakh in unaccounted cash during two separate operations conducted on Tuesday. The seizures underscore the ongoing vigilance of law enforcement agencies in the city against money-related offenses.
First Seizure Near RN Tagore Hospital

Upon inspection, authorities discovered and confiscated Rs 1.3 lakh in cash from the driver. The operation was part of routine surveillance efforts aimed at curbing illegal cash movements in the area.
Second Haul on Hyde Road
In a subsequent raid, police carried out another seizure on Hyde Road, where they recovered a substantial amount of Rs 15 lakh in unaccounted cash. This haul, significantly larger than the first, points to potential larger-scale financial irregularities being targeted by the police.
