Dehradun Police Seize Over Rs 1.5 Crore Unaccounted Cash from SUV; Three Detained

Dehradun Police seized approximately Rs 1.55 crore in unaccounted cash from a Maharashtra-registered SUV during a check in Rajendra Nagar under 'Operation Prahar'. The vehicle, intercepted on Sirmour Marg, had currency concealed in a secret compartment. Three men from Gujarat, including the driver Satish Bhai, were detained. The suspects could not provide legal documentation for the cash, reportedly transported from Varanasi. The Income Tax Department is investigating, with the vehicle seized and the case under further legal proceedings.
