During a recent raid in Motihari, Bihar, police seized Rs 4.15 lakh, but four constables are accused of pocketing Rs 3 lakh and have been dismissed.
The Motihari police conducted a raid in which officials recovered approximately Rs 4.15 lakh in cash. The seizure was part of an ongoing investigation into suspected illegal activities in the area.
Subsequent inquiries revealed that four constables allegedly diverted Rs 3 lakh of the confiscated money for personal use. Internal probes by the district superintendent confirmed the misappropriation, prompting immediate disciplinary measures.
All four officers were formally dismissed from service following the findings. A police spokesperson said the action underscores the department's zero‑tolerance policy toward corruption and aims to restore public confidence.
The incident has drawn attention to the need for stricter oversight of cash handling during raids, with senior officials promising further audits of similar operations across Bihar.
