“His son Prashant Kumar is unemployed.  The question is, from which sources did he (Prasant Kumar) get Rs 2.06 crores to purchase 80 decimal of land?  If he runs business he would have paid tax. But he has done nothing which indicates money laundering”, said MLA Roy.

BJP candidate Dhulu Mahto, when contacted, said that he would not make any comment on an allegation of Saryu Roy. “People of Dhanbad will give him a befitting reply on May 25”, said the three times MLA.
