A poll flying squad on Thursday seized unaccounted cash of Rs 4 lakh from the vehicle of BJP MLA candidate Ashok Nayak near Mangalpur under the Dhenkanal Town police limits.
The special squad while carrying out patrolling detained the four-wheeler of Nayak, who is contesting from the Hindol Assembly constituency.
The official seized the cash after Nayak failed to give a satisfactory explanation regarding the source of the cash and could not produce documents pertaining to the same.
Police said that the candidate was interrogated and the matter was under investigation.
