The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has alleged that Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Anil Tuteja was the “kingpin” of an illegal liquor syndicate in Chhattisgarh along with liquor businessman Anwar Dhebar and the corruption money was also used for electioneering.
The ED said its investigation also revealed that from 2019 to 2022, the sale of “unaccounted illicit” liquor was almost 30-40% of the total liquor sale in the state.
In its application filed in a special court in Raipur on May 6 seeking remand of liquor businessman Anwar Dhebar, the ED said there was a massive liquor trade scam in Chhattisgarh by a syndicate comprising high-level state government officials, private persons and political executives that generated corruption money of more than ` 2,000 crore.
