HYDERABAD: The driver of a cash management company scooted with Rs 35 lakh cash which was meant for refilling an ATM machine at Dundigal of Cyberabad commissionerate on Saturday.

The vehicle was traced in the nearby forest area, but Sagar and the cash bag were missing. Dundigal police registered a case and deputed special teams to nab Sagar.
