It looked like a scene straight out of a movie when wads of currency notes were found being dumped into a drain in Bihar’s Rohtas district and a number of people scrambled to grab as many notes as possible.
The incident occurred in the Moradabad village on Saturday and the video is going viral on social media where a number of people could be seen entering the drain and collecting currency notes in the denomination of Rs 2,000, Rs 500, Rs 100, and Rs 10.
If it is money, people will do anything. They waded sewage water in a canal in #Sasaram town in #Rohtas district of #Bihar to collect bundles of sodden, rotten currency notes. #India #Rupees #MoneyHeist pic.twitter.com/0NCCCHKf7u

The local villagers claimed that early in the morning, they saw bags containing currency notes inside the drain. Soon, a large number of people jumped in and started collecting the notes. They also claimed that the notes were genuine.
Meanwhile, the district administration is probing if the currency notes are genuine and who dumped them in the drain.
Following are the comments received by the video:
