Rs 340 crore found in raids linked to Congress leader Dhiraj Sahu

In what is being hailed as the most substantial cash seizure in a single operation in Odisha, the Income Tax department has reportedly uncovered nearly Rs 340 crore from multiple factories associated with Congress's Jharkhand MP Dhiraj Sahu.

The cash, discovered in factories located in Balangir, Titlagarh, and Sambalpur, is linked to an Odisha-based distillery. Over a five-day period, more than 50 bank employees, utilizing 40 machines, meticulously counted the seized banknotes, working through weekends to complete the task.

Despite technical glitches during counting, the cash is set to be deposited in banks on Monday. Following the conclusion of Income Tax proceedings, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is expected to delve into potential money laundering aspects, investigate possible connections to hawala networks, and explore the alleged hoarding of cash for upcoming elections in Odisha.
