A trader has been arrested in Indore with demonetised currency worth Rs 44.86 lakh, police said on Tuesday.
"Acting on a tip-off, cops arrested a trader identified as Praveen Agrawal (45) near a school last night and seized old notes in denominations of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 totalling Rs 44.86 lakh," Tukoganj Police Station In-charge, Rajkumar Yadav told PTI.
