Income Tax Department raids on premises linked to Jharkhand Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Dheeraj Sahu in Odisha revealed the recovery of cash exceeding Rs 100 crore.
The raids, initiated on December 6, were ongoing at the time of reporting. The seized money was found in locations associated with Boudh Distillery Private Limited in Odisha.
More than 30 officers, along with bank staff, were involved in counting the seized money using eight counting machines, with plans to increase capacity. The cash, discovered in an almirah, led to expanded searches at various locations, including residences, offices, and distilleries.
Income Tax Director General Sanjay Bahadur stated that connections to the seized cash, including political ties, were actively being explored.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called for an Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe into the matter, with BJP leaders sharing images of the recovered cash on social media, alleging involvement of multiple Congress MPs in similar cases.
