Mangalore: Cash Seizure in Bantwal Leads City Police to Increase Vigilance 
Daijiworld Media Network— Mangalore (RS/CN)   

Mangalore, Apr 22: “Unauthorized cash amounting to Rs 23 lac has been seized in Bantwal, but it is not confirmed who or which party it belongs to,” said M N Vidyashankar, Chief Electoral Officer of the state.  

He was speaking to media persons at the deputy commissioner’s (DC) office in the city and said that the money was seized while it was being transported in a car. He refused to give any further information on the matter stating that the investigation was on. 














“Whoever the money may belong to, strict action will be taken against the culprits and a case will be registered for violation of the code of conduct”, said Vidyashankar.  

It is suspected that the money was meant to be spent in an effort to entice voters as the elections approach.   

The money is now in the custody of Bantwal police. Following the incident, the police in the city are on high alert and have begun checking vehicles which are entering the city.  

Most of the vehicles are being checked at entry points like Nanthoor, Pumpwell, and Kottara.  

More details are awaited on the cash seizure.
