Following the marathon operations that started on Wednesday afternoon, the police recovered huge unaccounted cash and gold from Minar’s residence. The counting and recounting of the cash recovered was completed on Thursday morning; the total cash seizure had been found to be a little over Rs 28 crore, said a member of the investigating team. “The estimated value of the seized cash and gold would be to the tune of around Rs 50 crore,” he added. In the past, the stone-quarry owner, Tulu Mondal, was accused of illegal stone mining. The investigators are trying to find whether the huge cash and gold recovered from Minar Mondal's residence were actually owned by Tulu Mondal.
