She quoted- “Three days of intense search of 3 things primarily 1.The keys of the ‘alleged’ bungalow that I apparently own in Paris. Because summer holidays are around the corner.”
She again posted- 2. The ‘alleged’ receipt worth 5 crores to frame n keep for future pitching coz I’ve been refused that money before.”
And the final one – 3. My memory of the 2013 raid that happened with me according to our honorable finance minister P.S- ‘not so sasti’ anymore.”
