Congress leader Avinash Pandey vows to inquire about Dheeraj Sahu’s considerable wealth if necessary

Jharkhand Congress in-charge Avinash Pandey reached Ranchi on Sunday on his two-day visit. While answering the questions of the media at the airport, he described the case of seizure of huge amount of cash from the premises of Congress MP Dheeraj Sahu as his personal matter. He said that the party is also waiting to see what response comes from Dheeraj Sahu. When asked repeatedly, Avinash Pandey said that one thing is clear in this whole matter that Dheeraj Sahu is related to business. It is a part of the body. His family and many relatives have been with him in this business for a long time. He has an old ancestral liquor business in the areas of Odisha, Jharkhand and Bengal. Obviously, all these issues cannot be ignored. But the party is also keeping a close eye on what answer he ultimately gives. After everything is finally over, the party will take a decision according to the issue that will come up.

Rs 300 crore cash recovered so far

Income Tax raids are going on for the last 4 days at the house and premises of Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Jharkhand, Dheeraj Sahu. About Rs 300 crore cash has been seized so far.

Who is Dheeraj Sahu?

Dheeraj Sahu is Congress MP in Rajya Sabha from Jharkhand since 2010. Dheeraj is a businessman and his family has been associated with Congress for a long time. After PM Modi tweeted about this, Congress has come under BJP’s target regarding IT raids. PM Modi tweeted, “Countrymen should look at these piles of currency notes and then listen to the honest ‘speeches’ of their leaders. Every penny of whatever has been looted from the public will have to be returned. This is Modi’s guarantee.”
