The Income Tax department intensified raids on an Odisha liquor company group linked to Congress Rajya Sabha MP Dheeraj Sahu. The distillery firm Boudh Distillery Pvt Ltd, managed by Sahu's son Ritesh, is accused of tax evasion. I-T raids across Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal since Wednesday have led to a massive haul of unaccounted cash set to reach ₹290 crores. This would be the highest ever black money seizure in a single operation. The crackdown comes a day after PM Modi pledged return of public money looted by corrupt. Officials said the distillery company is also tied to Baldeo Sahu & Group which was previously raided over financial irregularities.
