      What we know so far regarding ₹5 crore seized from the car in Pune


      Unaccounted cash worth ₹5 crore was seized from a car by Pune police at the Khed Shivapur toll plaza on the Mumbai-Bengaluru highway on October 21, 2024. Pune rural police seized the cash from an Innova Crysta bearing registration number MH 45 AS 2526.

      Pune rural police initially said that the four individuals — Sagar Patil, Rafiq Nadaf, Balasaheb Asabe, and the car’s driver, Shashikant Koli — from Sangola tehsil in Solapur district were detained in connection with the seizure. Later, they were released. The cash was handed over to officials of the Income Tax Department for further investigation, according to Pune police. The code of conduct is in force in Maharashtra, as assembly elections are slated for November 20, 2024.

      On October 22, 2024, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) MLA Shahaji Bapu Patil from Sangola denied any connection to the incident after his name was being associated with the four people detailed who are from his constituency. His response came after Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, criticised the Mahayuti alliance, alleging that the Innova in question belonged to a Shiv Sena MLA from Eknath Shinde’s faction.
