"After the raids, the ATS detained Parvez Patel, a resident of Hasanbag, along with his aide for questioning. The action against the duo was taken in the afternoon on the basis of a tip-off that Parvez was holding unaccounted cash," an official said.

"The ATS seized cash worth Rs 27.50 lakh from Patel's house and he was questioned in order to know the source of the unaccounted cash," he said.

Earlier this year, a case of cheating was registered against Patel, who is a property and automobile dealer, the ATS official added.
