Mumbai-based activist Manoranjan S Roy has sent both the ruling party and the Opposition scrambling with his RTI seeking information on the exact amount of demonetised currency that had been collected by the various DCCBs in the country.

Roy's RTI revealed that the Ahmedabad District Central Cooperative Bank (DCCB), that had BJP chief Amit Shah as its director, collected the highest number of demonetised notes in the five-day period after note ban was announced on 8 November 2016.
