Dehradun: Currency notes found abandoned on road

DEHRADUN: A video showing currency notes in the denominations of Rs 100 and Rs 500 lying abandoned on a busy road near Dehradun’s Dharampur vegetable market went viral on social media platforms on Sunday. The currency notes, which can be seen in the video, neither had any cuts nor any spots but no passer-by picked them up.
The fear among many people that currency notes could be carriers of the coronavirus disease resulted in the peculiar situation.Police officials seized the notes at around 1:30 pm after locals informed them about the abandoned currency notes.
Shweta Choubey, SP (city), told TOI, “Three currency notes of Rs 500 and one currency note of Rs 100 were lying abandoned. It appears that the money belongs to a vegetable vendor and our teams are trying to trace him with help of CCTV footage.”
