BJP's Jharkhand unit president and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi has demanded the arrest of Congress' Rajya Sabha MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu for the recovery of "unaccounted" cash from his premises.
“Unaccounted cash amounting to around ₹225 crore has been recovered so far through searches being conducted by the Income Tax Department against Odisha-based Boudh Distillery Private Limited and entities linked to it,” officials said on December 8. “An FIR should be lodged against Sahu and he should be arrested,” Mr. Marandi demanded.
Stressing that such a big cash haul is unprecedented, he demanded a thorough probe into the matter and alleged that the money is linked to top Congress leadership as well as Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
