“We told the team how we could know whose vehicle had come at the state party of ce and
what was inside it. Somebody can put anything inside a vehicle and come to our party of ce.
We are nowhere responsible for it,” he told mediapersons.

Gohil termed the I-T search at the state party of ce politically motivated and a conspiracy by
rivals to put pressure on the party because the grand alliance is all set to win the state
assembly polls.

Sources said the I-T team that had arrived at the Sadaqat ashram at 4.30 pm spent a few hours
at the state Congress of ce and talked to several leaders about the recovery of the cash. Party’s
senior leaders, including AICC general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, were present when
the searches took place, source said.

I-T of cials did not speak to the media and there was no of cial con rmation about the money
recovered during the raid by the team. Sources said the special units of I-T of cials have been
formed to keep a tab on the ow of cash and other material during the ongoing election and
they work under the supervision of special election observers.

The Chief Electoral of cer, Bihar, HR Srinivasa could not be reached for comments, despite
efforts made by HT.
