Ghaziabad, March 19 (IANS) Almost Rs.4 crore of unaccounted money suspected to be meant for use during the upcoming parliamentary polls was seized from four different locations here Wednesday, police said.

Superintendent of Police Shivhari Meena said the cash was seized during a drive to keep tab on unaccounted cash flow. He said that while Rs.2 crore was found in the back of a van, police also seized Rs.26 and Rs.6 lakh from different vehicles.
