Congress Raises Concerns Over Lack of FIR in Cash Seizure Incident

Pune: Recently, some Congress leaders in Maharashtra have been raising eyebrows over a cash seizure case. They’re asking why no FIR has been filed after ₹5 crore was seized at a toll booth during the state assembly elections.

During a press conference, leaders like Akshay Jain and Bhushan Ranware expressed their frustration. They mentioned that they sought information under the Right to Information Act but got different responses from the Election Commission, police, and income tax department. It’s a bit puzzling, right?

The police and income tax folks haven’t filed an FIR yet, which has left many scratching their heads. Jain pointed out that the police inspector claimed the case wasn’t linked to any political figure, which seems a bit hasty given the circumstances.

The cash was seized on October 22, 2024, and the police were on the scene for several hours. The Congress leaders are demanding to check phone records from that evening to see who was in contact with the police. They’re really pushing for transparency, asking why the authorities are being so tight-lipped about the whole situation. It’s definitely a story to keep an eye on!
