The Enforcement Directorate has arrested the son of former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel in connection with a multi-crore liquor scam, intensifying political tensions in the state.

In a major development that has stirred the political landscape of Chhattisgarh, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Chaitanya Baghel, son of former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The arrest is linked to an ongoing investigation into a massive liquor scam that allegedly involved the siphoning of hundreds of crores through an illicit alcohol distribution network.

Sources within the ED claim that Chaitanya Baghel played a key role in facilitating financial transactions and helping cover up key links between government officials and private contractors involved in the racket. The arrest comes after weeks of raids, document seizures, and interrogation of several individuals connected to the alleged scam.

The incident has given ammunition to opposition parties, who are calling for a broader probe into the former administration’s financial dealings. Bhupesh Baghel, in response, has called the arrest "politically motivated" and a "targeted attack on his family."

The ED, however, has maintained that the investigation is based purely on financial evidence and not influenced by political factors. As the case unfolds, the political climate in Chhattisgarh remains tense, with many awaiting further arrests and reve

lations.
