In a recent statement, Congress MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu addressed the massive Income Tax raids that uncovered a staggering ₹351 crore. Dismissing any connection with Congress or other political parties, Sahu asserted that the funds’ origin would be determined by the Income Tax Department.
After being at the center of India’s largest IT raids, Sahu stated, “Let the Income Tax Department decide whether it is ‘Kaala Dhan’ or ‘Safed Dhan.’ I am not in the business line. The members of my family will answer this.”
Sahu emphasized that the recovered money has “nothing to do with Congress or any other political party.” The Income Tax Department seized over ₹350 crore from properties associated with Baldeo Sahu and Group of Companies Ltd., a liquor manufacturer run by Sahu’s family members.
The IT department concluded its searches in Odisha, and Sahu urged waiting for the department’s verdict on whether the recovered funds were illicit. The seized amount includes a significant cash haul from Sahu’s Balangir premises.
