Suspicious Bag with Rs. 80 Lakh Found on Delhi Cantt Express, Rohtak Gold Merchant Under Scanner
Recently, a case has arisen where a bag consisting of Rs. 80 lakh was found with a person in the Delhi Cantt Express, which was going from Bahadurgarh to Delhi. The cash was found while checking the train. The individual carrying the money got deeply scared after seeing the police, and his expressions were suspicious. This source indicates a famous gold and silver trader from Rhotak is involved in this case.
The GRP police station tried contacting the trader; however, the phone was switched off. Thereafter, instead of continuing the investigation, the police handed over the case to the Income Tax Department of Gurugram. The tax department had the responsibility to decide whether the money was legitimate after thoroughly investigating it.
According to police officials, Rahul could not give any accurate answer during interrogation. After this, the police informed the Income Tax Department about it and registered a case. During the investigation, the department talked to a person named Rahul Goyal, a resident of one of Rhotak's villages, who told them the money pertained to a wealthy gold merchant from Rhotak. The money was being carried out from Rhotak to Karol Bagh, Delhi, for buying gold and silver. But, when the police officers tried talking to the merchant, they couldn't because his phone was switched off.
The Income Tax Department said to simultaneously contact both Rahul and the businessman and said, if no legal owner of the amount is found, the money will be confiscated and will be deposited in the government treasury.
According to police officials, Rahul could not give any accurate answer even at the police station. After this, the police informed the Income Tax Department about it and registered a case. On the proposal of the tax department, the court has directed the authority to keep the recovered amount in the government treasury. But, due to the holiday, the amount has not yet been deposited. Till then, the tax department will further run the investigation and will try to find whether the amount is legitimate or not.
