The Bengaluru Police today seized Rs 2.5 crore from a private car during regular security checks at the west gate of Vidhana Soudha (Karnataka secretariat).

The car does not have a valid Vidhana Soudha pass and it came at the west gate at around 2.45 pm today.

H M Siddhartha, owner-cum-driver of the white Volkswagen sedan, was detained for questioning after unusual amount of money was found inside his vehicle. Siddhartha claimed that the money belonged to him, the police said.

The seized amount was kept inside in a laptop bag. A lawyer's gown and few papers related to the state high court were also kept on the back seat of the car.

Vidhana Soudha DCP Yogesh is reportedly questioning the car driver to get more details.
