BHUBANESWAR: More than 50 bank employees used 40 machines and took five days to count the huge pile of cash seized by the income-tax (I-T) department from an Odisha-based distillery, linked to Congress’s Jharkhand MP Dhiraj Sahu.
On Sunday evening, when counting finally ended, the amount was pegged at nearly Rs 340 crore, said to be the biggest cash haul in Odisha in a single operation. The cash was seized from the distillery’s multiple factories in Balangir, Titlagarh and Sambalpur.
