Summary:
In the rest of 481 cases no action was taken and the seized money was released. The FGG points out that in many cases where huge amounts were seized, no action was taken. For example in Chiragpally PS of Sangareddy, Rs 50 lakh was seized but no case was registered and the money was released. The FGG also questioned the legality of police depositing seized money in fixed deposits in the banks in some cases. It charged the Telangana State Election Commission for acting as a ‘back office’ to the Income Tax department, handing over the seized money to the IT department without registering any police case..
