Of the cash, Rs 26.95 lakh, meant for paying the workers' salaries, was kept in one bag and Rs 7.05 lakh meant for paying excise duties in another.As the Esteem halted at the signal opposite Portuguese Church at Dadar, four unidentified men in a white Maruti Zen pulled alongside and shattered the Esteem's windscreen.
