While clearing the debris of a collapsed house, they found a saree that left everyone completely stunned.
What exactly happened?
A team of rescue workers and volunteers in orange jackets were working non-stop. They were clearing mud from the courtyard of a collapsed house and its surrounding areas.

An unbelievable discovery
After the muddy saree was carefully recovered, something incredible happened. As soon as they started unfolding it, bundles and bundles of currency notes started falling out. The bundles of cash were completely covered in dirty floodwater and mud. The money was wrapped so tightly in the saree's folds and its *pallu* that it seemed like someone had hidden it in a great hurry.

Video goes viral on social media
Many in the crowd took out their mobile phones and started recording the entire incident. The area became chaotic with people's shouting, murmurs, and excitement. This raised several questions. Where did so much money come from? Who is the real owner of this abandoned saree? Was it illegal money hidden in the area, or was it a family's life savings, lost to the natural disaster?
Rescue work in full swing
Currently, rehabilitation and rescue operations are in full swing across Nepal following the landslides and floods. At the time of the discovery, no one came forward to claim the cash-filled red saree. The rescuers immediately informed the local police administration.
