Summary:
As per STF claims, the three were later reportedly taken to Kanpur as they told the STF officers about more foreign currency there. The STF officers have already been transferred after the controversy as they violated protocols. The four officers allegedly extorted the money from them and beat them up at Banthara police station, said a senior police officer from Lucknow. AdvertisingAn STF statement had earlier claimed to have seized the currency in Lucknow and deposited it in a Kanpur police station. The income-tax department has already taken statements from those caught with the amount earlier,” said SSP STF Abhishek Singh..
