The police said that around 3.30 p.m., Shabbir Pasha, a Chartered Accountant, got down from his car near his office on the busy N.R. Road, off Mysore Road flyover. He told the driver Sadiq that he would return in a few minutes. While Sadiq was in the car, a stranger told him that some currency notes were lying near the vehicle. On noticing the notes of Rs. 500 denomination on the road, Sadiq got down from the car.
