The Income-tax department has recovered around Rs 3 crore cash after it raided the premises linked to a retired IPS officer in Noida, official sources said on Tuesday.

They said the cash—in currencies of Rs 2,000, Rs 500 and Rs 200 — has been found stashed in private lockers created in the premises.

The searches were launched on January 30 after gathering “actionable intelligence” and the action is ongoing, the sources said.

About Rs 3 crore cash has been recovered till now and the department is investigating its ownership and source, they said.

The retired Indian Police Service (IPS) officer is from the Uttar Pradesh cadre, the sources 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).
