In a big step forward for the Chhattisgarh liquor scam probe, key suspect Chaitanya Baghel now faces 13 days of intense questioning by the state’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW). A special court in Raipur ordered this remand on September 24, keeping Baghel in police custody until October 6 to help investigators dig deeper into the massive corruption case.
This arrest could shake things up in the scandal, which already points to a web of officials and business players tangled in shady financial deals, kickbacks, and illegal booze operations. The EOW leads the charge here, and they’ll grill Baghel on his exact role, money trails, and connections to government and political insiders.
Expect the team to hit him with hard evidence—think digital records, grabbed documents, and confessions from other suspects. The whole mess revolves around twisted excise policies, stolen state revenue, and secret distribution networks that cost Chhattisgarh millions.
Another player in the scam also landed in custody until September 29, and his questioning should reveal more about how the operation ran and where the cash flowed. Officials hint that these interrogations might spark fresh arrests and bombshell revelations soon.
The EOW teams up with forensic accountants and cyber pros to track every digital clue and financial link. With the court backing this extended custody, it’s clear the stakes are high—they want a full picture of this graft nightmare.
As pressure builds from the public and politicians for straight answers on Chhattisgarh’s excise handling, the EOW promises a no-holds-barred hunt for the truth. No one gets a pass if they’re involved, no matter their status.
