New Delhi, Lucknow:
The tax raid against an Uttar Pradesh businessman, which shocked the country with visuals of heaps of currency notes and multiple machines deployed to count them, has finally ended a week after it began.
A total of ₹ 196 crore in cash, 23 kg of gold worth about ₹ 11 crore and 600 kg of sandalwood oil worth nearly ₹ 6 crore have been recovered in the weeklong raids that spanned the cities of Kanpur and Kannauj.
When the media reached the residence of businessman Piyush Jain in Kannauj, his son said, “I believe in the law. Whatever is right or wrong will come out.” He refused to speak further.
