PTC News Desk: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday conducted raids on the residence of Congress General Secretary and former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in the Mahadev betting app case.
The officials from the central agency reached Raipur and Bhilai as Baghel was scheduled to attend a meeting at the Congress Headquarters in Delhi.
While reacting to the raids, his office in a tweet said that after ED, now CBI has come. "Now CBI has come. Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is scheduled to go to Delhi today for the meeting of the “Drafting Committee” constituted for the AICC meeting to be held in Ahmedabad (Gujarat) on 8 and 9 April. Even before that, CBI has reached Raipur and Bhilai residence," read the post on X.
Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate had conducted searches at Baghel’s residence in a connection with an alleged liquor scam case and claimed that the beneficiaries gained Rs 2,100 crore in proceeds of crime in the alleged liquor case, causing a "massive loss" to the state exchequer.
