During Income Tax raids on premises linked to Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu, over Rs 351 crore in cash was recovered. Disassociating it from the Congress or any political party Sahu firmly stated, "The cash that has been recovered is related to my liquor firms. It is the proceedings from the sale of liquor." He emphasized family involvement, saying, "The money is not all mine, it belongs to my family and other related firms. I will give an account for everything." In addressing BJP claims of black money, Sahu insisted, "Let the Income Tax department decide if the seized cash is 'Kaala Dhan' or 'Safed Dhan.'" The raids concluded after seizing substantial cash and three kg of gold across Odisha, Jharkhand, and West Bengal. Congress maintains distance, awaiting investigation results.
