Earlier, the ED conducted raids at 14 premises linked to Baghel and his son.
The CBI on Wednesday raided former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's house in Raipur as well as Bhilai. There were reports that a multi-agency raid was conducted at the Congress leader's residence. It was immediately not known if the raids were linked to the Chhattisgarh liquor scam or the Mahadev betting app case.
Earlier, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) conducted searches at 14 locations in the Durg district, including the residences of Bhupesh Baghel and his son Chaitanya Baghel, in connection with an alleged liquor scam.
After the raids, Baghel said the agency found a pen drive with a conversation about financial transactions involving Manturam and Puneet Gupta, son-in-law of Raman Singh, papers related to the SAIL company linked to Abhishek Singh, son of Raman Singh, and a total of Rs 33 lakh in cash, which he described as income from farming, dairy and family savings.
He also accused the agency of bringing note-counting machines to create a spectacle.
"An atmosphere was created that note counting machines had been brought. I don't think this is a very large amount. It is clear that now asking questions in Vidhan Sabha has become a crime," he had said.
