They have told the police that the cash was meant for purchasing sarees from the renowned wholesale market at Burrabazar in central Kolkata.

After the incident, Congress suspended the MLAs. The party also alleged that ‘operation lotus’ stands exposed, which is meant to topple the alliance governments in the state.
