Haryana Police Seize Rs 1.5 Crore Cash from Brezza Car in Faridabad

Faridabad police have seized Rs 1.5 crore in cash from a Brezza car in the Surajkund area, officials reported on Tuesday. The incident occurred during a routine police checkpoint at Anandpur Chowk in the Greenfield area of Surajkund.

According to Greenfield police post in-charge Sunil Kumar, the cash was discovered during vehicle inspections that were being conducted on orders from Police Commissioner Satyendra Gupta. When officers searched the Brezza car coming from Delhi, they found Rs 1.5 crore in cash inside.

Suspects Detained for Questioning 

The two young men traveling in the vehicle were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for carrying such a large amount of cash. As a result, police detained both individuals and confiscated both the money and the vehicle. 

"During initial questioning, the suspects claimed they were transporting the cash from Gurugram to Noida," said Sunil Kumar. "However, they could not explain the purpose or ownership of the money."

Income Tax Department Involved 

The matter was immediately reported to Surajkund Station House Officer Pahlad Singh and senior officials. The police have also called Income Tax Department officials to the scene. 

"Income Tax officials are now investigating the source and purpose of this cash," the police official added. "Only after a thorough investigation will we be able to determine who the money belongs to and why it was being transported." 

Police are currently counting the seized cash using counting machines at the Greenfield police post while continuing their investigation into the matter.
