Recently, India's tax department last week launched an investigation into lawmaker Dhiraj Sahu from the country's largest opposition Congress party, and found large sums of unidentified cash in more than 30 properties in Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal. The properties all belong to a liquor brewing and selling company called "Baute Wine". Baute Liquor is run by members of Sahu's family. The department also seized about 3 kilograms of ** jewelry.
A member of the department said: "We found 176 bags of cash, which is a huge inventory. We have hired staff from three state-owned banks to work in each of the three locations. Despite the fact that Saturday and Sunday were holidays, the staff was overworked, taking a total of five days to complete the inventory. During the inventory, some machines broke down. A bank staff member involved in the counting said: "The technician has been with us to repair the machine, and the cash will be deposited in the bank."

The Supreme Court of India appointed an investigative team
As soon as the incident came out, the Congress Party quickly distanced itself from Sahu. "The Congress party has nothing to do with MP Sahu's business, only he can explain it, and he should explain it as well. Jairam Ramesh of the Congress Party in charge of communications said. He said the Sahu family belonged to a large business family and that the Indian tax department should investigate further to determine the amount of cash seized. This is Sahu's personal affair and has nothing to do with the Congress party".
Sahu's family reportedly operates a variety of businesses in addition to liquor, including hotels, real estate, transportation, and fishing. Experts say Indian law enforcement should step in to investigate whether the cash is linked to underground banks. Former police deputy chief Jayant Mishra said it was not ruled out that the money was hoarded for future elections in Odisha and that law enforcement investigating money laundering should find out where the cash was from.
Sahu's residence is currently under surveillance in India. ）
The Times of India, citing official sources, said that India's Supreme Court-appointed special investigation team for "black money" is also closely monitoring the search operations of India's tax authorities. The panel was established in 2014 and has submitted seven interim reports to the Supreme Court over the past nine years. In order to identify the unidentified cash, the Inland Revenue Department of India (IRD) is investigating two employees of "Baute Liquor". According to the source, the agency will take further action based on their statements.
So far, the Congress leader has not publicly stated his position on the matter.
Modi assured the public that "every penny must be returned".
Indian Home Minister Shah Ahmad slammed opposition parties, including the Congress Party, on the 10th. He said it was understandable that the Congress party implicated in the case kept a low profile, but it was strange that other opposition leaders did not take a stand.
Shah said the huge sum must have been the largest amount of corrupt cash seized from a lawmaker since India's independence. "Never since India's independence has a member of Parliament had such a huge amount of cash in his home," he said. Billions of rupees have been recovered, but the INDI (coalition of the main opposition parties) are silent about it. We understand this silence as their inherently corrupt. It is now understandable why the Congress party has hyped up the abuse of power by the investigative department, and why they have launched an offensive against Modi**, because they are afraid that their corruption will be exposed. ”
On the 11th local time, Nada, chairman of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, led other members of the party to hold an event near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the Parliament Building. Speaking at the event, Nada said: "The Congress party is a corrupt party. The Department of Education and the Bureau of Investigation have repeatedly demonstrated this, but the Congress Party has questioned the Agency. And that's just the tip of ...... icebergSonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi will have to answer whose money is and how it was looted. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that we will not spare the corrupt and we want the Congress Party to answer the poor people, whose cash is it. The BJP will not spare the corrupt elements, they will all be sent to prison. ”
