Police in Madhya Pradesh's Sagar district recovered approximately Rs 3 crore in cash during a raid at the house of an auto driver, following a tip about illegal weapons linked to a viral social media post. No weapons were found, but the cash was stored in a locked cupboard and counted over several hours using a currency-counting machine. Authorities are investigating the source and ownership of the money, with family members claiming it belongs to a relative employed as a Public Works Department engineer.
