A major cash seizure was reported in Perambalur, where authorities recovered nearly ₹2.5 crore in unaccounted money during a late-night vehicle inspection. The operation was part of routine checks amid heightened vigilance in the region.

Officials intercepted a car during the inspection and discovered a substantial amount of cash concealed inside. The individual transporting the money was unable to produce valid documents to explain the source or intended use of the funds at the time of questioning.

Following the seizure, the cash was confiscated and handed over to election authorities before being transferred to the Income Tax Department for further verification. Officials noted that the amount could be returned if the claimant provides valid proof of its legitimacy.

An investigation has been launched to trace the origin and intended use of the money. Authorities said all angles are being examined as part of ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with election guidelines and financial regulations.
