Residents of Sasaram city in Bihar's Rohtas district were captured on video jumping into a drain to collect soggy bundles of currency notes.
The incident took place on Saturday in the Moradabad area, approximately 150 km away from the state capital Patna, and has been circulating on social media platforms.

The incident has received strong reactions from social media users, with many commenting on the lengths people will go to for money. The police have launched an investigation into the matter and have assured that details will be revealed once the probe is complete.
However, they are currently unable to confirm the exact amount of money found in the canal.

TMC will be voted back to power in Bengal: Tejashwi Yadav
Patna (PTI): Leader of Opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Tuesday exuded confidence that the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC will again be voted to power in West Bengal.
Yadav returned to Patna after a four-day poll campaign in West Bengal.
“The atmosphere there is euphoric and people want to bring Didi (Mamata Banerjee) back to power. I am fully confident that the TMC will win the election,” he told reporters here.
He said that a large number of people from Bihar living in West Bengal share a lot of love and respect for Mamata Banerjee.
Responding to BJP’s allegations that the TMC had “ruined” West Bengal during its tenure, the RJD leader said the “entire country has been ruined under the Narendra Modi-led government”.
“I want to ask one question to Modi ji – you have been prime minister for more than 11 years, tell me one thing you have done for Bengal,” Yadav said.
The first phase of elections to the 294-member West Bengal assembly was held on April 23, while the second phase will take place on April 29. Votes will be counted on May 4.
