RAIPUR: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a fresh raid at the Bhilai residence of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel early Friday morning, intensifying its investigation into an alleged multi-crore liquor scam.
Around 6 a.m., a team of approximately 12 ED officials, accompanied by a heavy contingent of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, arrived at Baghel's residence in Durg district. This marks the second such raid in six months against the senior Congress leader and his family.
The ED's action is reportedly linked to a money laundering probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), focusing on Baghel's son, Chaitanya Baghel.
