Some of the cash bundles carried the Laskshmi Vilas Bank slips. The seized cash was entrusted with the Nellikuppam police station. On information District Collector P.Seetharaman, accompanied by Superintendent of Police Ashwin Kotnis and Election Observer D.S.Dhok Rajurkar went to the police station to inspect the cash.
