Hyderabad, Dec 23 (IBNS): Three persons, including a cab driver, were detained after rupees seven crore were found deposited in the cab driver's account at State Bank of Hyderabad, according to media reports on Friday.

The income tax officials, while scrutinising huge amounts deposited after the declaration of the demonetisation scheme by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Nov 8, discovered that rupees seven crore was deposited in cash in the cab driver's account and then was being transferred in a phased manner to a bullion trader's account.

 
When questioned by the IT officials, the cab driver could not explain the huge sum deposited in his account, which was allegedly in a dormant state before the demonetisation happened, reported the Times of India.
 
Examining the CCTV footages, IT officials found that two accomplices of the driver had deposited the cash, media reported.
 
All three are being questioned by the IT officials.
