"Controversy Surrounds Massive Cash Haul: Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu Under Scrutiny"

Newslaundry, a media outlet, has come out in support of Congress MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu, who is under investigation for a multi-hundred crore IT raid. In a video, Newslaundry attempted to downplay the allegations against Sahu, insinuating that the recovered money could be legal and criticizing the media and BJP supporters for targeting him. The outlet also defended Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra in a separate case. However, Newslaundry's defense of Sahu and Moitra has been criticized for overlooking key facts and evidence. Congress has distanced itself from the controversy, while BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have targeted the party.
