The Income Tax Department on Sunday seized unaccounted cash worth Rs 351 crore from properties connected to Congress Rajya Sabha MP Dheeraj Sahu in Odisha and Jharkhand. As a result, it will be the highest-ever sum of black money taken in one operation by any agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out of the 176 bags of cash that were taken during the raids, 140 have been counted by the officials thus far since they started on December 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The objective of the officials was to complete the counting of the cash found during the raids by Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The State Bank of India received up to 176 bags of cash, 140 of which have been tallied, according to a regional manager Bhagat Behera. Forty machines have been deployed, and fifty representatives from three banks are taking part in the counting procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Behera, the officials are working to complete the counting by the end of Sunday because Monday would mark the start of regular business hours and the equipment need to be returned to the banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authorities chose to bring in more cash-counting equipment and personnel on Sunday in order to expedite the procedure because there was a sizable amount of cash that needed to be counted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bhagat Behera claims that professionals are also present at the location to handle any potential technical problems with the counting devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a number of images released on Sunday, officials could be seen counting bundles of cash that had been found on Dheeraj Sahu’s homes. The majority of the money was found in locations connected to Boudh Distillery Private Limited in Odisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dheeraj Sahu apparently controls other such plants in Odisha, and his extended family is involved in a significant alcohol manufacturing enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the huge amount of financial recovery, the Congress has separated itself from its Dheeraj Sahu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
