The Income Tax Department on Friday (Nov 10) carried out raids in the Indian state of Rajasthan. According to the news agency ANI, the raids were underway at the Ganpati Plaza in the capital city of Jaipur.
ANI reported that in the first phase of the raids, two lockers were cut open and a huge amount of cash was recovered from one of the lockers inside the plaza. A sack full of currency notes was found in a second locker and counting was on.
These raids in Jaipur come a month after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirodi Meena alleged on October 13 that black money worth $60 million (around Rs 50 crore) and 50 kilograms of gold was kept in 100 private lockers in Jaipur, PTI news agency reported.
Meena, a Rajya Sabha MP, demanded that the police should open these lockers. He claimed that 50 of these lockers were functional and 10 belonged to some officials.
