The income-tax department continued its searches in different places linked to an Odisha-based distillery group on charges of tax evasion for the sixth consecutive day on Monday after recovering unaccounted cash to the tune of Rs 353 crore, the "highest-ever" haul in a single action by any probe agency in the country, officials said.

During the day, officials of the income tax department reached the Sudapada unit of the Boudh Distilleries, owned by a Congress MP`s family, in Boudh district where the central agency started its search operations on December 6.
