Unaccounted cash worth Rs 4.4 lakh in new currency notes of Rs 2,000 was seized on Saturday from Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, police said.

The seizure was made in the early hours at Gosaveedu village of Gampalagudem Mandal from four persons after they were unable to produce appropriate documents and explain the source of cash, said Gampalagudem Sub Inspector P Siva Rama Krishna.
