Karnataka Police on Sunday seized unaccounted cash of Rs 5.60 crore along with gold and silver ornaments worth Rs 2 crore from a house in Ballari, Karnataka. 

"The police seized Rs 5.60 crore in cash, 3 kg of gold, and 103 kg of silver jewellery with 68 silver bars. One person has been taken into custody and is being interrogated. Further details awaited," the officials said.

Acting on a tip-off, the police raided a jewellery store owner’s house in Brucepet police station area, they said.

The owner has a jewellery store in Kambali Bazaar area. Unaccounted cash and jewellery worth over Rs 7 crore were recovered from the house, the sources said. An FIR has been registered in this regard, they said.

However, the officials did not link the massive recovery of cash and jewellery with the election. 

The voting to elect 28 Lok Sabha members in Karnataka will take place in two phases on April 26 and May 7.
