Both were unable to produce valid documents for possessing the amount. Hence the amount was deposited in the treasury. An inquiry will be held. However, there was no FIR lodged.
In Udupi, the team seized Rs 93,000 from a wine shop owner who said he had collected the amount at a wine shop.
However, he too did not provide any valid documents. He has affiliations with a political party.
