00:00In the context of the investigation of the alcohol scam, some evidences came to us.
00:08For example, Arvind Singh's Statement of Section 50, in which he said that Rs. 50 lakhs was paid monthly by the alcohol cartel to Qawasi Lakhma.
00:20Along with that, Arunpati Tripathi's testimony also said that Rs. 1.5 crore more was paid to them by the alcohol cartel.
00:29So, in total, Rs. 2 crore was paid to them by the alcohol cartel.
00:33This was confirmed by the testimony of both of them.
00:36According to this, if the scam has been going on for 36 months, then the total proceeds of the crime is Rs. 72 crores.
00:46In this matter, further investigation was done.
00:49There is an exercise officer, Iqbal Khan and Jain Dewangan.
00:54They also confirmed that they used to arrange money and send it to them.
00:59They used to collect the bags of Kanhaiya Lal Kurre in Sukma.
01:04Another important thing is that when Jagannath Sahu and his son were searched, we got some digital evidences.
01:20Based on these digital evidences, we came to know that this money, which we can see, was basically used to build their son's house in Sukma.
01:33And also to build the Congress building in Sukma.
01:37So, in this way, they have tried to present the proceeds of the crime as untainted property to the society.
01:46In this matter, first of all, the crime of money laundering was seen in section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
01:54And because their cooperation was very less during the investigation,
01:58and there was such a possibility that whatever investigation has been done so far,
02:02it is possible that they can destroy the other evidences.
02:06If they try to destroy,
02:08they will not only destroy, but they will also influence the other witnesses who have been summoned.
02:18That is why we have arrested them today at 3 pm.
02:25We had asked for 14 days of custodial remand, but the court granted them custodial remand till 21st January 2025.
02:35Did you get any information from Harish Lagma?
02:38Look, people are called here for the statements of section 50.
02:43And that investigation is a part.
02:46And if they need further, they will be called further.
02:49Or whoever needs to be called, he will be called.
02:52Sir, it is said that the proceeds of the crime were used in the construction of the Congress building and Harish Kawasi's house.
02:58Did you get any information other than this?
03:00This is what has been revealed in the investigation so far.
03:03And the POC of 72 crores, which we have seen so far,
03:09we can see the angle in the construction of that POC.
03:14But it is possible that we will get some other evidences.
03:17Then it will be presented to you or to the court.
03:2078 crores were distributed.
03:2278 crores.
03:23Or is there any other case related to this?
03:25We have received some evidences so far, as I told you.
03:28The same thing is being repeated again and again.
03:3150 lakhs, Arvind Singh, 1.5 crores, Arunapati.
03:352 crores.
03:36We have straight forward evidence available now.
03:39And we have received evidences in the investigation so far to identify him in the form of his property.
03:46It is possible that we will get some other evidences.
03:48They will be presented in due course.
