A case has been filed against Najimuddin Aliuddin Sheikh (39) from Malegaon for possessing Rs 2 lakh in unaccounted cash during a police checkpoint ahead of the Assembly elections.

Police inspected vehicles as part of a blockade on Friday. Najimuddin was stopped near Vard Ganesh Mandir and could not explain a bag in his car. Upon checking, police found Rs 2 lakh in cash. As he could not justify the source, police took him into custody and initiated legal action.
