The police are probing the role of Padmavathi Travels, from whose buses the West Godavari and East Godavari police seized about ₹10 crore in cash and 10.3 kgs of gold at three places in the State on Friday.
On a tip-off, the police seized the cash and gold at three separate places in East and West Godavari districts, in buses operated by the private operator, and took a few suspects into custody, investigation officers said.
“There were no documents for the cash and gold seized in the bus at Ananthapalli toll gate. Three private four-wheelers following the bus were also seized,” West Godavari district Superintendent of Police Rahul Dev Sharma said.
