India’s Largest Cash Seizure: ₹290 Crore Recovered, Counting Continues

In a potential record-setting income tax raid in India, an astounding ₹290 crore in hard cash has been unearthed across three states since yesterday. The tax department targeted the offices of an Odisha-based distillery spanning Jharkhand and West Bengal.

Sources indicate that the recovered sum may escalate as more cash is yet to be tallied, and officials possess intelligence regarding additional locations concealing cash. The ongoing raids have unveiled cash stuffed inside cupboards and furniture across seven rooms, with nine lockers awaiting scrutiny. Information suggests the possibility of discovering more cash and jewelry in other identified locations.

Today’s raids extend to Boudh Distillery, its affiliate Baldev Sahu Infra, and a rice mill owned by the distillery. Substantial sums were also retrieved from the properties of Congress MP Dheeraj Kumar Sahu in Jharkhand.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the public on X (formerly Twitter), assured that all money pilfered from the public would be returned, emphasizing his commitment to accountability.

The Odisha BJP unit, in a press conference, called for a CBI probe into the matter, seeking clarification from the ruling BJD. BJP spokesperson Manoj Mohapatra presented photos of a woman minister from Odisha’s western region sharing a platform with one of the implicated liquor traders. The BJP contends that this tax evasion implicates local leaders and the state government, questioning the roles of Odisha’s excise department, vigilance wing, intelligence wing, and economic offense wing in the state.
