In a shocking incident, huge number of currency bundles were spotted on Salem (Tamil Nadu) – Kochi (Kerala) highway on Thursday. It all happened when a car and bus coming in the opposite directions had head-on collision accidentally. Car driver and a passenger in car escaped with minor injuries.
As soon as the accident happened, the cars doors opened instantly and startling currency bundles of Rs 500 were scatted on the road to everyone’s surprise. Shocked to see this, the bus driver and others informed the police about the incident. Coming to know about this, people in nearby villages rushed to spot and took away as much as currency bundles possible.
Besides in the car doors, notes bundles were stocked inside seats replacing the sponge. Before the cops step in, the locales fled away with the found currency. After reaching the spot, cops took control of the situation and confiscated the money and handed it over to IT sleuths.
After interrogating other people in car aboard, they revealed that railway catering contractor Musthafa in Erode district has directed them to transfer this Rs 2.55 Crore amount to Malappuram of Kerala. Cops are suspecting that the money is being transferred to terrorists and immediately directed local police to arrest Musthafa. A detail investigation in the whole matter is under way.
