Hanagodu: Election officials, Police and Paramilitary forces guarding the Manuganahalli check-post near Bilikere on the Mysuru-Madikeri Highway were in for a surprise this noon as unaccounted cash worth Rs. 50 lakh was seized from a KSRTC bus.
The bus (KA-19-F-3142) was on its way from Mysuru to Udupi via Mangaluru and there were over 50 passengers. As a routine election process, officials and Excise staff intercepted the bus at around 12 noon and when they checked the bus, they found a cardboard box under the seat at the last row seat of the bus. When asked about the box, no one claimed it as theirs.
