Election officials in Chennai have seized Rs 12.6 lakh unaccounted money from RK Nagar, where the by-poll will be held on 21 December.

The officials have so far recovered nearly Rs 20 lakh unaccounted money from various locations in the constituency.
The election was earlier scheduled for April 12, but was cancelled following allegations that sums of money were distributed in a vote-for-cash scam.
