Kasargod, March 21: Police have seized Rs 2,000 face value currency notes worth Rs 7 crore from a house at Ambalathara, Gurpur and have taken a person into custody for questioning in this connection.
The operation was conducted by the police after receiving definite information. Currency notes of Rs 2000 face value have been withdrawn from circulation by the union government earlier last year.
The house is owned by gulf employee K P Babu Raj who had let it out on rent to Panathur resident Abdul Razak.
Police had been keeping a watch on the house for the last three days. They conducted the raids on Wednesday and took into custody the currency notes that were stashed away in two rooms. The Rs 2,000 currency notes were found stuffed in thermocol boxes, cardboard boxes and sacks.
