Foreign currency seized

Mohali, January 23
A static surveillance team, headed by ASI Parmod Kumar, seized foreign currency from an NRI, who was travelling by a taxi, at a check post near the light point of phase 3A.
During the checking, foreign currency in the form of US Dollars was recovered along with Indian currency. The total amount seized was Rs 7 lakh, which was handed over to a team of the Income Tax Department as the woman was unable to produce valid supporting documents. The lady identified herself as Garima, a resident of California State in the US. She was coming from New Delhi. She told the officials that she was carrying the currency for a land deal in Mohali. A total of $ 9,350 and Rs 2.18 lakh were seized.
