The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Assam Police has recovered over Rs 1.5 crore in new Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 bills from a businessman's house in Guwahati, police said on Tuesday (13 December). The CID official said the amount was recovered during a raid at the house of Harjeet Singh Bedi late Monday evening.
“We received a tipoff that huge amount of black money was hidden in Bedi's house. We raided his house at Beltola area,” he said adding that they seized Rs 1,54,61,000. "The cash was hidden in a secret locker of Bedi's bedroom in the house," the official added.
A probe is on to ascertain whether the seized money was proportionate to his income, said the official, adding that the CID would also register a case if any discrepancies were found during the IT interrogation.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
