Kathua police on Tuesday nabbed two people after about Rs 2.5 crore cash was recovered from an SUV in Lakhanpur, which is the gateway to J&K from Punjab side.

As per an official, a police party from Lakhanpur police station intercepted the SUV bearing Haryana’s registration number and during checking nearly Rs 2.5 – Rs 3 crore was recovered from the vehicle.

He said the cash in crores of rupees was found hidden in a specially built cavity inside their car and the income tax department was informed about the seizure.

The passengers, hailing from the valley, were apprehended and are being questioned, the official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
