Mohan was handed over to ACB custody by the Vidhana Soudha police on Wednesday, January 9. The ACB is now awaiting court permission to access Mohan’s phone to collect details of other communication he had made regarding the source of money.

It is gathered that the money seized from Mohan was taken in different batches. Mohan had personally gone out and collected cash from different individuals twice, meanwhile, two other accused in the case allegedly walked into the Vidhana Soudha with a total of around Rs 8 lakh in their possession.
