During a vehicle check operation on Chirag Ali Lane, the Central Zone Task Force team confiscated ₹10 lakh in alleged hawala money. The money was seized from Manprith Singh, a 38-year-old scrap dealer, and Shaik Arshad, a 22-year-old office boy. Authorities revealed that Manprith had dealings with hawala agents who orchestrate illegal money transfers in major cities. These agents use coded SMS and WhatsApp messages for communication and deliver money for a commission to avoid income tax scrutiny. The apprehended individuals and the confiscated funds were handed over to the Abids Police for further investigation.
