Birbhum Police on Wednesday raided the house of a retired government bus driver in Deucha village and seized gold bars and biscuits worth around Rs 21.5 crore, along with two trunkloads of cash, according to a report by The Times of India. The cash haul had crossed Rs 28.5 crore by late evening, with bundles of notes being counted till the report time.
Police questioned Minar Mondal, owner of the two-storey house and a relative of influential stone trader Tulu Mondal, along with his son, over the source of the seized wealth and whether they had stashed money and gold at any other location. Officials reportedly used five cash-counting machines and several gold-weighing scales to assess the haul.
