In a significant crackdown on illicit financial activities, Delhi Police have seized demonetised currency notes worth several crores from the Wazirpur area in North Delhi.

Based on a tip-off about the illegal movement of cash, law enforcement officials conducted a targeted raid, recovering multiple bags filled with old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. These notes were declared invalid after the demonetisation initiative in November 2016.

Several individuals were detained, and two vehicles allegedly used for transporting the seized cash were impounded. Authorities are intensively questioning these individuals to uncover the origin of the currency and the network involved. Investigations continue as police trace the source of these discontinued notes.
