Cash haul in I-T raids against business group linked to Congress MP crosses Rs 335 crore, counting still on

The cash seizure in the income-tax department's searches against an Odisha-based distillery company, owned by a Congress MP's family, has crossed Rs 335 crore and is the "highest-ever" such haul in a single action conducted by any probe agency in the country, official sources said on Sunday. The premises of the Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Jharkhand, Dhiraj Prasad Sahu, in Ranchi and other places, were also covered during the searches by the department. The company and the member of Parliament did not respond to PTI's queries regarding the action being carried out against them.
