In the latest developments surrounding Chhattisgarh’s Rs 4,000 crore liquor fraud, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its investigation, now focusing on Bhupesh Baghel, the former Chief Minister of the state. The case revolves around illegal liquor distribution practices, financial mismanagement, and alleged political favoritism. As the ED delves deeper into the scam, it has become evident that Baghel’s administration played a crucial role in the complex network of corruption.
The investigation, which initially began with local authorities, eventually drew the attention of the ED after discrepancies in financial records were discovered. Key witnesses and whistleblowers have come forward, accusing the former CM of using his position to benefit certain business interests in exchange for financial kickbacks and electoral support. The ED’s investigation is focused on understanding the scale of political interference, and how state machinery may have been manipulated for personal gains.
