Police in Sagar, a district in Madhya Pradesh, India, were looking for two brothers.

The brothers had posted videos on Instagram where they were holding guns.

Police wanted to find the guns, so they went to the home of one brother, who drives a taxi.

Inside the house, they saw a locked cupboard.

The family said they did not have the key.

So the police broke the lock.

Inside, they found bags full of money — more than Rs 3 crore, which is a very large amount.

The brothers said a relative left the money there about 8-9 years ago.

Police did not find any gun at the house.

They are still investigating where the money came from.
