Maha: Nashik Road Railway Station RPF seizes cash worth Rs ₹1.49 crore under Operation Satark

Nashik, Nov 13 (UNI) In a major operation under 'Operation Satark', the Railway Protection Force (RPF) at Nashik Road Railway Station, under the Central Railway's Bhusawal Division, seized unaccounted cash worth Rs ₹1,48,64,000 from the bag of a 24-year-old male passenger.
The cash and the detained individual were subsequently handed over to the Income Tax Department's Investigation Unit for further legal action.
In view of the Chhath Puja festival, the RPF has intensified security arrangements and inspections at railway stations. Under the guidance of Senior Divisional Security Commissioner Chitresh Joshi and the leadership of Nashik Road RPF Post Inspector N. P. Singh, a special checking drive was underway at the station.
On Thursday, November 12, when Train No. 22112, the Amrit Bharat Express, arrived at Platform No. 3 of Nashik Road Railway Station, RPF personnel noticed the suspicious movements of a young man carrying a bag. Head Constable Narendra Padvi, Constable Gautam Birade, Constable Ravindra Rathore and other personnel on duty immediately stopped him for questioning.
The man identified himself as Sandeep Balasaheb Bhamre, 24, a native of Gomwadi village in Atpadi taluka of Sangli district, currently residing in Bhavani Peth, Jalgaon.
As he failed to provide satisfactory information about the contents of his bag, Sub-Inspector Lavkush Verma and Assistant Sub-Inspector Dinesh Yadav conducted a search in the presence of independent witnesses.
During the inspection, they found 29,322 currency notes of Rs ₹500 worth ₹1,46,61,000, 715 notes of ₹200 worth ₹1,43,000 and 600 notes of
₹100 worth ₹60,000. The total seized cash was ₹1,48,64,000.
When questioned about the source, ownership and purpose of transporting such a huge amount of cash, Bhamre reportedly failed to provide a satisfactory explanation or valid supporting documents.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, the RPF immediately informed the Deputy Director of the Income Tax Department's Investigation Unit-1 in Nashik. The detained man, along with the entire seized amount, was subsequently handed over to Income Tax officials for further investigation and necessary legal action.
The prompt action and alertness displayed by the Nashik Road RPF team during the special security drive ahead of Chhath Puja have been appreciated.
