In a significant bust targeting illegal money smuggling in Kasaragod, the police have arrested 62-year-old Sana Shamsu. The arrest took place at Madiyan, Kanhangad, where officers from the Hozdurg police station seized Rs24.79 lakh in unaccounted cash from Shamsu’s vehicle.
The operation was led by Sub-Inspector V.P. Akhil, as part of the ongoing crackdown against undocumented money transactions in the region. Police have intensified efforts to curb smuggling activities that involve large sums of illegal money being moved across borders.
Shamsu, who was caught in the act of transporting the cash, is currently under investigation to determine the source of the funds and its intended destination. The authorities suspect that the seized cash was being moved without proper documentation, which is a violation of financial laws.
This arrest adds to the list of recent actions taken by the Kasaragod police in their bid to clamp down on illicit money flows, often linked to organized crime and illegal businesses. Authorities are continuing their investigation into this case, and further arrests may follow as the crackdown continues.
