The cheque is dated November 8, 2016. Several users are claiming that the disgraced business tycoon wrote a cheque of Rs. 35 crore to the BJP before he fled the country. Facebook page &#8216;AggBani&#8217; posted this image with a Punjabi caption, where it received more than 66,000 shares at the time of writing.
