In Bhubaneswar, the police have taken a strong stance against the use of cash in elections. On Thursday, at the Biju Patnaik International Airport, a man was found in possession of Rs 2.5 lakh in cash. The accused, identified as Sachin Parik, had arrived in the city the previous night on a flight from Jharsuguda. According to the IIC of the Airport police station, Tusharkant Sethi, Sachin is a construction builder by profession in Jharsuguda.
The purpose of the cash has not been determined yet, whether it was for political donations or for personal use. The police are further investigating the incident to gather more information. It was the vigilant security officials at the bag-check counter who noticed the cash in Sachin's bag and alerted the authorities. Upon being questioned, Sachin was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the cash in his possession.
This incident serves as a reminder of the strict measures being taken to prevent the flow of cash in elections. The police are determined to keep a close watch on any suspicious activities and take necessary actions. The use of cash for political purposes can lead to corruption and manipulation of the democratic process. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain transparency and accountability in election funding. The authorities will continue to remain vigilant and take necessary actions to ensure fair elections in the city.
