According to an official government spokesperson, state investigators have mapped an alleged financial trail amounting to Rs 736.96 crore following extended examination of corporate records, banking channels, and business accounts linked to the former minister.
The official statement outlined that the expanded financial findings include Rs 161 crore in unaccounted cash deposits, Rs 141 crore routed through foreign-based operations, and Rs 236 crore in unexplained corporate deposits.
