Following this raid, State’s Home Minister’s Vijay Sharma said, “ED has raided where corrupt money is invested. No person is bigger than the law.”
According to the information received, two ED officers reached Rajiv Bhawan. These officers went to inquire about the construction of Rajiv Bhawan in Sukma and Konta. The Congress General Secretary in-charge was also called for questioning. Meanwhile, other Congress officials also reached the spot. It is worth mentioning that when ED officers raided the house of former Excise Minister Kawasi Lakhma, some incriminating documents were found from him.
