The Government Railway Police (GRP) have recovered over ₹75 lakh cash from train compartments in Tripura over the past three days. While no arrests were made in Friday’s recovery from an abandoned compartment, three people have been arrested in connection with the seizure on Saturday.
Wahidur Rahman, an officer with the GRP at Agartala station, said that the arrested individuals were residents of Maharashtra. Both recoveries were made from Kanchenjunga Express, which runs between Agartala and Sealdah in Kolkata.
In the earlier incident, the GRP recovered ₹66.57 lakh cash from a bag that was left abandoned near the lavatory of the train after it made a stop at Dharmanagar station in northern Tripura.
