Income tax raids on premises linked to Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu have uncovered around Rs 300 crore in cash so far. Counting is still ongoing.

The raids covered properties in 3 states related to an Odisha-based distillery group connected to Sahu. His son is the MD and brother is the Chairman.
-
The distillery group manufactures extra-neutral alcohol used for making alcoholic beverages. It has also been accused of tax evasion in the past.

BJP has attacked Congress over the issue, with leaders sharing photos of Sahu with Rahul Gandhi and questioning why he was made an MP despite losing elections.

Congress has distanced itself from Sahu's businesses, saying he should explain the cash haul himself as party is not connected.
