Man Arrested on Train for Transporting Over Rs 1 Crore in Undocumented Cash

A man was detained by authorities for allegedly transporting Rs 1.22 crore in cash, suspected to be hawala money, by train from Mumbai to Hyderabad. The seizure occurred after a joint railway police check revealed he failed to provide valid documentation or justification for the funds.

An individual was detained by the Government Railway Police at Secunderabad for allegedly moving Rs 1.22 crore in suspect hawala funds from Mumbai to Hyderabad. The arrest followed a collaborative inspection by railway police and RPF personnel on the Devagiri Express.

The man was found carrying a suspicious bag between Bollaram and Malkajgiri stations. Investigations revealed that he, hailing from Maharashtra's Amaravati District, had acquired the cash from a Mumbai jeweler. The money was being transported to Secunderabad to be delivered to another jeweler in Monda Market. The suspect, unable to provide valid documents or an acceptable explanation for the cash, had agreed to deliver the funds for a fee of Rs 5,000. Consequently, the money was seized by the authorities.
