Local authorities say a large number of rupee notes were found scattered on the ground outside Central Park in Visakhapatnam, prompting an investigation.
Visakhapatnam police reported that a sizable pile of Indian rupee notes was discovered lying scattered outside Central Park on a recent morning. The notes were spread across the walkway adjacent to the park's main entrance, drawing the attention of passers‑by and park staff.
Officials from the city’s municipal corporation arrived at the scene shortly after the discovery and cordoned off the area to preserve any potential evidence. While the exact source of the money remains unclear, investigators are treating the incident as a possible criminal matter and have launched a preliminary inquiry.
Witnesses said the notes appeared to have been deliberately placed rather than accidentally dropped, and some members of the public collected the cash before authorities could secure it. The police have appealed to anyone with information about the origin of the notes to come forward.
The incident has sparked curiosity among residents, many of whom posted images on social media, prompting discussions about security and the need for vigilance in public spaces. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.
