Ahead of the assembly elections in Bihar – which will be held in October — the Income Tax department and the state police have intensified crackdown on the use of black money and unaccounted cash.
According to the Model Code of Conduct, which is in place, no one is allowed to carry more than Rs 50,000 in cash without having a proper explanation.
Parveen Manjhi currently is being questioned by the police, sources said. In absence of a satisfactory reason, the cash will be seized by the Income Tax authorities, they added.
Jitan Ram Manjhi is the president of Hindustan Awami Morcha — a member of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance.
He had formed the party this year after leaving the Janata Dal United in the wake of a long-drawn clash with Nitish Kumar over the Chief Minister’s post.
