ED Delves Into Rs 4,000 Crore Liquor Scam in Chhattisgarh, and Ex-CM Bhupesh Baghel Is in the Crosshairs
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is now actively investigating the Rs 4,000 crore liquor scam in Chhattisgarh, with Bhupesh Baghel, the former Chief Minister of the state, emerging as a central figure. The investigation has revealed a complex network of illegal activities that include money laundering, corruption, and political favoritism in the state’s liquor distribution system.
The ED’s focus on Baghel is rooted in evidence suggesting that his government facilitated illegal transactions in exchange for political and financial gain. The political ramifications of the probe are significant, as Baghel is a key figure within the ruling Congress party. This has led to a tense standoff between the state and central authorities, with accusations of political bias and claims of unfair targeting by Baghel’s supporters.
