Madhya Pradesh police recovered eight million rupees in cash from a van in Indore’s Kanadia area; the two occupants said it came from a land sale but could not produce documentation.
Police officers conducting a routine check in the Kanadia police‑station jurisdiction of Indore intercepted a white van and discovered a bundle of cash amounting to approximately eight million rupees. The cash was seized on the spot and handed over to the investigating team for further scrutiny.
The two individuals travelling in the vehicle asserted that the money represented proceeds from the sale of a piece of land. However, when asked to present any sale deed, title documents or bank statements to substantiate the claim, they were unable to produce any paperwork.
Authorities have now launched a formal investigation to determine the source of the funds and whether any criminal provisions, such as money‑laundering statutes, have been violated. The seized cash will be retained as evidence pending the outcome of the inquiry.
