Paritos was arrested and the police confiscated Rs 36 lakh from him. The Mizoram police last evening were sent to Silchar to escort Paritos to Aizawl.

According to sources, the special investigative team of the Mizoram police has also seized Rs 44,92,500 believed to be Chiahpuam deposit money in Ramhlun South locality of Mizoram and on November 13 had confiscated Rs 15 lakh near Aizawl Temple Square.
