In a sensational bust, the Visakhapatnam City Police seized over Rs 1 crore, suspected of being hawala cash, in a washing machine near NAD junction. As per the police reports, the currency was being transported to Vijayawada in an auto rikshaw by stuffing it inside the machine. The cops seized Rs 1.30 crores, the auto, and a bike.
