The Election Commission and Thane Police worked together to seize the money.”The money was taken from a row-house by us. We’re looking into where it originated from and whose money it is. Senior Inspector Bramhanand Naikwadi informed media report that the Election Commission and the police worked together to make the seizure.

Maharahstra’s campaign came to a close on Monday.

Both the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and the governing Mahayuti are trying to win over voters in Maharashtra’s crowded fight for 288 assembly seats. The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is expecting for a powerful return in Maharashtra, while the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition is attempting to hold onto power.

The Mahayuti alliance, which consists of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Nationalist Congress Party (SCP), and the Shiv Sena (UBT) led by Eknath Shinde, is being challenged by the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, which is made up of the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the NCP.
