The Crime Intelligence wing of the Railway Protection Force seized unaccounted money to the tune of ₹1.64 crore from the Hyderabad-Thiruvananthapuram Sabari Express on Friday.
Two men from Guntur in Andhra Pradesh – Rajendra, 40, and Shaikh Ahamed, 38 – were arrested in connection with seizure.
The money was found hidden in four bags under a seat.
They reportedly told the police that the cash was being brought from Guntur to Shoranur for buying gold.
