The Congress condemned CBI raids on former CM Baghel amid Rs 6,000 crore Mahadev app scam probe, as BJP faces allegations of political motives.

Congress Criticizes CBI Raids Amid Scam Probe

The Congress opposed the CBI's actions against former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel regarding the Mahadev app scam, alleging BJP's political motivations. The raids coincide with significant Congress meetings, reflecting a broader political clash.

The Congress condemned CBI raids on former CM Baghel amid Rs 6,000 crore Mahadev app scam probe

Congress criticizes CBI's politically motivated raids on ex-CM Bhupesh Baghel amid Mahadev app scam probe, asserting BJP's role.

The Congress on Wednesday claimed the CBI's searches at the residence of former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel were politically motivated, and asserted it will not be intimidated by such actions.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday conducted searches at the residence of Congress leader Baghel in connection with the alleged Rs 6,000 crore Mahadev app scam, officials said.
The agency teams swooped down at Baghel's residences in Raipur and Bhilai, as well as the houses of a senior police officer and a close associate of the former CM, they said.
The searches also covered the premises of Congress MLA Devendra Yadav in Bhilai town of Durg district and of IPS officers Anand Chhabra, Abhishek Pallava and Arif Sheikh, among others, sources said.
Baghel said the CBI conducted searches at his residence ahead of his scheduled visit to New Delhi for a Congress meeting.
Reacting to the action, Baghel's office in a post on X said, "Now CBI has arrived. 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 April 8 and 9."
"Before that, CBI has reached Raipur and Bhilai residences," it added.
State Congress chief Deepak Baij in a post on X claimed the BJP sent the CBI after Baghel and Yadav following all the "failed raids and failed conspiracies".
"Since this morning, the CBI has been camping at the houses of both our leaders, this is nothing but the government's desperation," he charged.
"But remember one thing - neither Congress will bow down, nor Congress will stop. This fight is not just about the leaders, but about every truth which is being tried to be crushed by the power. BJP should remember - truth does not bow down, and the end of injustice is certain," he added.
Senior Congress leader and former state Deputy CM TS Singh Deo also condemned the action and claimed the central agencies have been trying to harass Baghel.
"The attempt by the agencies to harass former CM Bhupesh Baghel ji repeatedly is condemnable. It is only the BJP's failed attempt to tarnish Bhupesh ji's image. The state BJP government is incapable of running the government, therefore it has been making such efforts to divert attention from the issues related to the public," Singh Deo alleged in a post on X.
First the ED, then CBI, the investigating agencies have been acting as the 'B' team of the BJP, he claimed.
"It has become clear that the central agency has only become a weapon to threaten and harass opposition leaders. This action being taken by BJP out of political malice is a violation of democracy," he added.
State Congress communication wing head Sushil Anand Shukla slammed the BJP over the action and claimed the ruling party was scared of Baghel.
"Ever since Baghel has become the party in-charge of Punjab, the BJP is scared. First, the Enforcement Directorate was sent to his residence and now, the CBI has been sent. This shows the BJP's fear. When the BJP fails to fight politically, it uses central agencies against its opponents," he alleged.
"Neither Bhupesh Baghel nor the Congress party is scared," Shukla said.
The people of the country and the state are well aware of these "oppressive" policies of the BJP, he said.
Earlier also, the CBI had lodged a case against Baghel in connection with an alleged seven-year-old (sleaze) CD matter, but the court recently discharged him of all charges, Shukla added.
Recently, the Enforcement Directorate had conducted searches at Baghel's residence in connection with an alleged liquor scam case.
The state government last year handed over to the CBI 70 cases related to the alleged Mahadev scam lodged with different police stations and one case registered with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in the state.
Baghel along with promoters of the Mahadev app - Ravi Uppal, Saurabh Chandrakar, Shubham Soni and Anil Kumar Agrawal and 14 others - were named as accused in the EOW's FIR.
Baghel had termed the EOW FIR "politically motivated".
Notably, the ED has been probing the Mahadev app-linked money laundering case, unearthed during the previous Congress government in the state.
The ED had conducted multiple raids in the case earlier in the state and filed prosecution complaints (chargesheets) in the case, including against the two main promoters of the alleged illegal betting and gaming app - Chandrakar and Uppal.
The ED claimed in the past that its probe in the Mahadev online gaming and betting app has shown involvement of various high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats from Chhattisgarh, the state where the two main promoters, Chandrakar and Uppal, of the app hail from.
It had said the app is an umbrella syndicate arranging online platforms for enabling illegal betting websites to enrol new users, create user IDs and laundering of money through a layered web of 'benami' bank accounts.
The two main promoters of the app are stated to have been detained in Dubai on the basis of an ED-requested Interpol red notice. The projected proceeds of crime in this case are about Rs 6,000 crore, according to the ED.

The CBI raided former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel's residences over alleged ties to a betting scam. Congress claims BJP is politically targeting Baghel.

Former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Wednesday said the CBI conducted searches at his residence ahead of his scheduled visit to New Delhi for a Congress meeting.
Teams of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday swooped down at the residences of Baghel in Raipur and Bhilai as well as the residential premises of a senior police officer and a close associate of the former CM, officials said.
The agency is tight-lipped about the matter in which the searches are taking place.
Sources, however, said it is linked to Mahadev online betting app 'scam'.
Reacting to the action, Baghel's office in a post on X said, "Now CBI has arrived. 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 April 8 and 9."
"Before that, CBI has reached Raipur and Bhilai residences," it added.
The raids also covered the premises of some other leaders of the Congress and police officials in Raipur and Durg districts, as per the sources.
State Congress communication wing head Sushil Anand Shukla slammed the BJP over the action and claimed the ruling party was scared of Baghel.
&ldquo;Ever since Baghel has become the party in-charge of Punjab, the BJP is scared. First, the Enforcement Directorate was sent to his residence and now, the CBI has been sent.

Raids by ED in Chhattisgarh uncover a Rs 2,161 crore liquor scam involving ex-CM Bhupesh Baghel, amidst claims of political motives.

ED Raids Uncover Chhattisgarh Liquor Scam

The ED's investigation into a Rs 2,161 crore liquor scam in Chhattisgarh involves former CM Bhupesh Baghel, amid political controversy.

ED raids ex-CM Baghel's residence in Chhattisgarh liquor scam

ED raids multiple locations in Chhattisgarh for a Rs 2,161 crore liquor scam involving former CM Bhupesh Baghel.

On Monday, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) conducted searches at 14 locations in Chhattisgarh&rsquo;s Durg district as part of investigations into an alleged liquor scam.
Notable sites included the residences of former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and his son, Chaitanya Baghel.
The ED's operation also extended to close associates of Chaitanya Baghel, with sources indicating that he allegedly received illicit funds linked to the scam. Searches were also conducted at the premises of Laxmi Narayan Bansal.
The liquor scam reportedly involves the diversion of Rs 2,161 crore through various fraudulent schemes between 2019 and 2023, during the tenure of Chhattisgarh&rsquo;s previous Congress government.
As the searches commenced, Bhupesh Baghel&rsquo;s official handle on the social media platform X released a statement suggesting that the raids were politically motivated. The statement alleged a conspiracy aimed at thwarting Baghel&rsquo;s political activities in Punjab, where he now serves as the Congress General Secretary.
The statement emphasized Baghel&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to Punjab, despite alleged efforts to impede the Congress party's operations there. Baghel has made multiple visits to Punjab, holding meetings with local leaders to bolster preparations for the upcoming state elections.
The ED initiated its investigation last year with the filing of an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) against the alleged mastermind, Anwar Dhebar, the brother of Raipur&rsquo;s mayor, Aijaz Dhebar. Other key figures included in the report are retired IAS officer Anil Tuteja and ITS officer Arun Pati Tripathi, both implicated in operations supplying unaccounted liquor to state-run outlets, resulting in significant financial losses to the government.
Earlier this year, former excise minister Kawasi Lakhma was arrested by the ED for his purported involvement in the scam. Allegations state that Lakhma received Rs 72 crore, part of which was used to fund a Congress office and a personal residence for his son.
The investigation underscores ongoing scrutiny and legal proceedings related to one of Chhattisgarh&rsquo;s major financial scandals, with potential political ramifications amid upcoming election preparations.
