Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu First Reaction, Says Money Doesn't Belong To Congress

Following the conclusion of Income Tax department raids on an Odisha-based distillery firm early Friday, Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Jharkhand, Dhiraj Prasad Sahu, clarified that the seized money is unrelated to the Congress or any political party. Congress MP emphasized that the entirety of the confiscated cash doesn't belong to him but to his family and associated companies. In his initial response to the 10-day Income Tax searches, which led to the recovery of over Rs 350 crore in cash, Sahu acknowledged the connection of the money to his liquor businesses and the revenue generated from liquor sales. He assured that he is prepared to provide a detailed account for all financial transactions.
