Puttaparthi, Jun 22: Andhra Pradesh police sent a legal notice to two Sai trustees in Puttaparthi on Wednesday, Jun 22. Police sent notices to RJ Rathnakar and Venu Srinivasan.

The legal notice has been sent to the trustees over the recent money seizure issues in and around Sai Baba's place - Puttaparthi. After the details of the huge haul of cash and other valuables from Sai Baba's private chamber at the Puttaparthi ashram shocked the country, the police had seized a vehicle carrying a bag full of cash from Anantpur district of Andhra Pradesh. The cash was believed to have come from the Puttaparthi ashram.

Police claimed that the cash could be between Rupees 25-50 lakhs. They also added that the cash could be from the Sai trust as they are the only people capable of handling such a large amount of money around the area.
