52 Kg Gold and ₹11 Crore Cash Seized from Abandoned Car in Bhopal

Authorities uncover massive illicit wealth linked to political and real estate corruption during statewide raids in Madhya Pradesh.

A white Toyota Innova abandoned in Bhopal's Mendori forest was found containing 52 kg of gold worth ₹40 crore and ₹11 crore in cash.
The car is registered to Chetan Gaur, an associate of ex-transport constable Saurabh Sharma, who is under investigation for disproportionate assets and is currently in Dubai.
The discovery coincides with extensive raids by the Income Tax department and Lokayukta police targeting builders and government officials involved in alleged corruption.
Raids on the properties of Saurabh Sharma revealed ₹3 crore in cash, 2 quintals of silver, gold worth ₹50 lakh, and property documents hidden across multiple locations.
Investigators suspect links between the seized assets and a broader network involving prominent politicians, bureaucrats, and real estate developers.
