Ahead of 16 May Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, election flying squad personnel today seized Rs 10.48 lakh cash, suspected to be meant for distribution to voters, from the car of a local AIADMK functionary, police said.
The election flying squad personnel found the cash in the car of Aythioyapattinam AIADMK union secretary A P Mani as he tried to leave his house near Yercaud in the district, they said.
As Mani could not account for the money, it was seized and later handed over to Yercaud constituency Returning Officer Sundaram, police said.
