Driver’s Family Unaware: Locked Almirah Held ₹3 Crore Cash In MP's Sagar

In Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, the recovery of Rs 3 crore from the house of Saurabh Ahirwar, a driver by profession, has left both the police and the family in shock. A senior cop from the Sagar police informed Free Press that Saurabh's close relative, who retired as a PWD official, had placed an almirah at the family's residence in October, claiming it contained government files.

However, Saurabh and his family, including his brother Ankit, were unaware that the almirah held such a large sum of cash. During an investigation into a social media video showing Saurabh with a pistol-like firearm, the police discovered the almirah locked and secured with tape. Upon opening it, they found the cash neatly packed in bags.

The Sagar police have now informed the Income Tax department about the seizure. Social media addiction has been a recurring issue in Sagar, with numerous criminal-minded youths posting reels on their accounts, including Saurabh, who posted a similar video two and a half years ago.
