Ghatkesar police of Rachakonda Commissionerate on Friday seized Rs. 38.5 lakh, comprising mostly the recently issued currency notes of Rs. 2,000, from three persons while they were travelling in a car on the outskirts of the city. Initially, the police suspected the currency notes to be part of some illegal transaction.
However, the persons carrying the cash presented proof to the police confirming that it was part of daily collection of a businessman owning a chain of liquor shops in Bhongir of Yadadri. “Since they presented documents, we are writing to the income tax officials to probe into the source of cash,” Malkajgiri DCP Ramesh Naidu said.
Commits suicide
Ayesha, 30, a housewife, ended her life by hanging in her house at Santoshnagar on Thursday night, the police said. The woman’s five-year-old daughter, who first saw her hanging from the ceiling fan, called the neighbours.
Ayesha’s original name was Swetha and hailed from Rakshapuram. She married a transport operator Akram after falling in love with him. Of late, they developed differences over some family matters, the police said.
