FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be FALSE.
An online search with relevant keywords did not yield any news confirming the alleged seizure of 30 containers by ED from Kadapa-Chennai port route.
However, numerous media articles have surfaced debunking the false propaganda circulating on social media, which claims that large sums of money are being transported alongside defence equipment in containers from Kadapa to Chennai port.
The Kadapa DSP had also responded to the same issue, warning that strict action would be taken against those who spread false information.
The Kadapa District Police has clarified the same through their official Twitter handle.
✅ కంటైనర్లలో రక్షణ శాఖకు సంబంధించిన సామాగ్రిని తరలిస్తున్న నేపథ్యంలో భారీ భద్రత ఏర్పాటు.
✅ వేల కోట్ల తరలిస్తున్నట్లు సోషల్ మీడియాలో ప్రచారం చేసిన వారిపై కఠిన చర్యలు తీసుకుంటాం.
