Authorities have launched a detailed investigation to determine whether the money is linked to hawala transactions, tax evasion, or other illegal activities.
The operation was carried out jointly by the Karwar police and the Election Flying Squad, which has intensified checks in view of upcoming polls. The seized cash has been handed over to the Income Tax Department for further verification and legal action.
