Chhattisgarh HC granted bail to Chaitanya in two liquor scam cases probed by EOW & ED. It is alleged the ‘scam’ took place during Bhupesh Baghel's tenure as CM.
Chhattisgarh EOW's charge sheet says Bhupesh Baghel’s son was 'controlling player' who pocketed Rs 200-250 cr. Chaitanya's lawyer calls allegations 'move to prejudice case further'.
Chargesheet against Chaitanya Baghel mentions intimation of delivery of 'saamaan' or cash by former CM, identifies kingpin of ‘liquor scam’, and records chats, statements and money trail.
Party reiterates demand for special Parliament session & all-party meet to discuss the situation. Kharge decides to not attend any all-party meet from which PM Modi abstains.
In an affidavit filed before Supreme Court, the months-old state BJP govt has affirmed ED’s charges against 2 senior civil servants who served in erstwhile Bhupesh Baghel regime.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
