I-T raids Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu: Counting ends, Rs 340cr seized in country’s ‘biggest’ cash haul

The income tax department has uncovered nearly Rs 340 crore from multiple factories of an Odisha-based distillery linked to Congress's Jharkhand MP Dhiraj Sahu. This is the most substantial cash seizure in a single operation in the coastal state. Over 50 bank employees used 40 machines for five days to count the pile of banknotes seized from factories in Balangir, Titlagarh, and Sambalpur. A Supreme Court-appointed special investigation team (SIT) on black money is closely monitoring the I-T searches.
