The incident reportedly occurred near the Ruthiyai outpost under Dharnavada police station on National Highway-46 during the intervening night of Friday. A Scorpio SUV with a Gujarat registration number was stopped, and a search allegedly led to the recovery of cash worth around ₹1 crore.
Instead of following due procedure by informing senior officials or the Income Tax Department, the police team allegedly entered into a “settlement” with the trader. Sources claim ₹20 lakh was taken as a bribe, allowing the vehicle to leave with the remaining ₹80 lakh.
The case took a dramatic turn when reports emerged that the police later returned the ₹20 lakh after receiving a phone call from a senior IPS officer in Gujarat, further deepening suspicion.
As the issue escalated, Amit Sanghi conducted a late-night inspection at Dharnavada police station and the Ruthiyai outpost. He questioned the personnel involved and examined official records.
