Mishra also demanded to know if the chief minister has paid income tax on the proceeds from the painting.
"Why would you sell your painting clandestinely? We are happy that it has been sold for Rs.1.80 crore, but we should have the fortune to see a painting which fetched such a price."
"If you had sold it for such a price, then you must have paid income tax. If not, then the IT department would raid your house," he said.
Citing the example of the state police hurriedly securing a court order to open a bank locker of Sen's wife which the ED has been attempting to secure, Mishra accused the state government of trying to hinder the probe by the central agency.
"By doing all this, you are using the police to remove evidence. Those who are attempting to tamper or remove the evidence, they should be arrested," he added.
