Shillong, Jan 22: Authorities have seized unaccounted cash of over Rs 10 lakh in East Jaintia Hills district.
The unaccounted cash was recovered from vehicles coming from Assam in three separate operations in Umkiang village in the Sutnga-Saipung constituency. “The district authorities have seized Rs 10.72 lakh in cash in Sutnga-Saipung assembly seat. No one was arrested so far in these cash seizures,” Chief Electoral Officer FR Kharkongor said.
