With elections just a throwaway, the Bengaluru police have seized unaccounted cash amounting to crores. The incident took place at Bengaluru’s Jayanagar area. The wads of notes were found stashed in gunny bags in two cars, that included one brand new Benz car, that had no number plate. The other car has been identified as Volkswagon.
Model code of conduct
The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) which kicks in the moment the election dates are announced by the Election Commission (EC) prohibits the transfer of such unaccounted money.
Jayanagar area falls under the Bengaluru South constitutency, represented by BJP’s Tejasvi Surya.
For the upcoming elections, he will be facing Soumya Reddy of the Congress, she is also the daughter of Ramalinga Reddy, the incumbent BTM layout MLA.
This is not the first time that election sleuths have confiscated such large amounts.
