Former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on January 6 alleged that the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) mentioned his name in the Mahadev betting app case supplementary chargesheet as part of a political conspiracy.
In a long post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Baghel further accused the ED of making investigation a weapon of political pressure and defamation. The objective of the Central agency was to help the Bharatiya Janata Party by “spreading political propaganda”.
Asim Das, an alleged courier arrested in the betting app case, had initially claimed that he had been sent to “deliver” cash to Mr. Baghel. He later retracted the statement.
