Big question: On whose instructions was cash being deposited on a large scale?
This money could have been used in Chhattisgarh-Telangana
Here, Dheeraj Sahu’s companies were probably instructed to deposit cash. According to sources, it was being estimated that no party would form government in Chhattisgarh and Telangana. In case of not getting a clear majority, a government would have been formed through manipulation. If there was a need for buying and selling, this money would have been used. The investigating agency is trying to find out the reason why the company was not depositing the money in the bank. The investigating agency believes that this amount could be from the regular sale of liquor for a month or two. After depositing money in the bank, it was difficult to withdraw it and spend it. In such a situation, it would have been considered appropriate to collect the money.
