A Rashtriya Congress candidate, contesting from Moradabad Sadar, has allegedly gone missing under “mysterious circumstances” while canvassing on Thursday afternoon, his driver alleged. While police did not lodge a missing case, Dinesh Kumar, the owner-cum-driver of the SUV used by candidate Radhey Shyam for campaigning, lodged a complaint of criminal breach of trust with the police, alleging the man escaped without paying his vehicle fare.

The Uttar Pradesh Police arrested two people with Rs. 1 crore during a checking exercise in Moradabad’s Kundarki area on Thursday. According to a report in ANI, the currency was in Rs 2000 notes. The recovery was made from a swift car and the accused are reportedly employees with a bank.
