Three Congress MLAs have been caught with a mountain of cash. The cash was recovered from a car which was intercepted at Howrah.
The West Bengal Police on Saturday, acting on specific input, caught three Jharkhand Congress MLAs with a mountain of cash inside a car. The vehicle was intercepted at Howrah.
"We got a specific input on the basis of which we stopped the car. Three MLAs from Jharkhand were in the car and we found a lot of cash inside. We had to ask for a counting machine because of the volume of cash. We will be able to tell how much cash was recovered only after full counting is done," SP Rural Howrah Swati Bhangalia told India Today.
The Howrah Police are currently counting the cash recovered from the MLAs.
The Trinamool Congress, which is facing the heat over the arrest of senior leader Partha Chatterjee in a teachers' recruitment scam, asked: Is probe agency ED going after only a select few?
"Utterly shocking! Huge amounts of cash recovered from a car of a Congress MLA from Jharkhand - intercepted at Howrah. Apparently, three INC MLAs were travelling in the car. Is ED going after only a select few?" TMC said in a tweet.
