A team of Income Tax officials on Thursday issued a notice to the Congress after money was recovered from a vehicle parked outside its Patna office. One person was detained outside the office after ₹8.5 Lakh was recovered from him. The person in his statement before IT officials said that the cash from Congress Office was supposed to be delivered to someone in Patna. IT sleuths have now issued a notice to the party asking about the source of funds and who in Congress gave cash to this individual.
"They served notice after money was recovered from a vehicle outside the compound. No money recovered within the compound. We will cooperate. 22 kg gold, 2.5 kg silver was recovered from BJP candidate from Raxaul. Why is IT not going there?," Congress' Bihar in-charge Shaktisinh Gohil said.
