Rs 1 crore from two passengers at airport

Jaipur: Income tax sleuths have made the biggest seizure of money from air passengers in Rajasthan when they nabbed two persons with an unaccounted sum of Rs 1 crore from Terminal 2 of the airport here. Both the persons who were employees of a leading astrologer from Mumbai could not explain the source of income. Thus the IT sleuths seized the whole amount as disproportionate income.
According to the IT investigating wing's air intelligence unit,(AIU), Jaipur, it received an information on Wednesday evening from AIU, Mumbai, that two persons traveling from Mumbai to Jaipur by Jet Airways flight were carrying Rs 1 crore in three different hang bags.
"Soon after getting this information, the AIU sleuths here swung into action and intercepted the two persons after they got down from the plane at Jaipur airport," the director general of income tax (Investigations) said.
The two persons were then brought to the IT office situated near the Statue Circle here and a thorough investigation was initiated during the intervening nights of Wednesday and Thursday.
