Counting mountains of cash isn’t an easy task. But for the good folks at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), it’s just part of the job description.
Yesterday, the CBI recovered Rs 20 crore (approx) in cash during searches at 13 locations against two former Northern Railways officials and seven private firms in connection with alleged corruption in the supply of packaged drinking water other than mandatory Rail Neer in premium trains.
The CBI put out the following statement after conducting the raids yesterday.
Searches are being conducted today at 13 places in Delhi and Noida which led to recovery of cash amount of more than Rs 20 crore (approx) and a large number of incriminating documents.

Counting crores is definitely not as much fun as you’d expect.
