Congress’s Rajya Sabha MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu is at the centre of the biggest IT raid ever in the country. So far, over 400 crores of unaccounted cash has been recovered from the premises of Odisha-based Boudh Distillery Private Limited and its related organisations, where Sahu is a partner. Amidst the controversy around recovery of such a massive cache of cash, old photographs of Dhiraj Sahu posing with tigers and guns have gone viral on social media.
Undated photographs of Sahu posing with a tiger and a cheetah at a zoo in Singapore are making rounds on social media. It is unclear when these photos were taken.
Apart from photos with tigers, Sahu’s photographs posing with rifles have also gone viral. These photographs were posted on Facebook in March this year when Olympic Athlete and world champion in shooting, Alejandra Zavala, visited his residence in Delhi.
Earlier, his old tweets criticising the Modi government went viral, where he claimed the Indian economy was in a bad shape.
