FLYING Squad of Election Commission, monitoring  the implementation of Model Code of Conduct and expenditure for Legislative Assembly elections, intercepted a Maruti Swift car near Mahal (in Kotwali Police Station area) and seized  Rs 70 lakh unaccounted cash from it, besides detaining two persons for interrogation in this connection on Thursday.

Acting on a tip off, the Flying Squad blocked the car near Jagnade Square in the afternoon. During the search, the squad members found a bag containing cash in the utility box of the car. Flying Squad members took the cash along with the Maruti Swift car (MH-31/CR-908) and its driver to Kotwali Police Station. The seizure of cash created quite a sensation in political circles.
The officials with the seized cash of Rs 70 lakh. 
After the driver, Dilip Watuji Kodane (45), a resident of Kharbi Chowk, told the Flying Squad members that the car belonged to Pushpa Rajendra Agrawal, they called her to the police station. During inquiry, she told the Flying Squad that a businessman had sent the cash to her house as it was to be delivered to her Rajnandgaon-based son-in-law.  She stated that her son-in-law told her to send the cash to his sister’s house in Wathoda. Accordingly, she asked her driver Dilip to take the bag containing cash to Wathoda and hand it over to the sister of her son-in-law.
Gulzar Wani, Expenditure Observer (East, Central, North Nagpur), confirmed to ‘The Hitavada’ the seizure of Rs 70 lakh cash. “Prima facie, it is unaccounted money as the people involved are unable to explain the exact source. We are still investigating the matter,” he added. Wani said that the election machinery would hand over the case to Income Tax Department on Friday. “They will issue warrant and conduct further investigations,” he added. 

After the police alerted the officers of Income Tax (I-T) Department, they, too, reached the police station. Another senior officer said that investigators were trying to find out whether the cash was meant for distribution to woo the voters by politicos. IT officials are likely to quiz Agrawal’s son-in-law on Friday.

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...
