IAS retired officer A.K. Goel, whose residence was searched by a flying squad of the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday night, said on Saturday that the ECI team was at his residence at 6 p.m. and that they searched for an alleged stash of liquor and cash but nothing was found.
The Congress had alleged that a huge amount in cash had been stashed at Mr. Goel’s residence for later distribution by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to voters.
“The CCTV [camera] footage of my residence was also shared with them. I categorically refute the allegation regarding storage of either liquor or cash [on] my premises,” he wrote.
