'Bigg Boss' Of Chhattisgarh Liquor Scam: How Ex-Chief Minister's Son Ran Syndicate

A sprawling liquor syndicate came to light with proceeds of over Rs 1,000 crore, massive cash transfers, a WhatsApp group named 'Bigg Boss', fake holograms, and real estate empire and one man at the centre of it all - former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel's son Chaitanya Baghel. Chaitanya Baghel, currently in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the infamous liquor scam, will also probably face arrest by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). On September 15, the ED filed a fifth supplementary chargesheet, running over 7,000 pages, in a special court. The chargesheet confirmed that Chaitanya Baghel personally handled more than Rs 1,000 crore of scam proceeds, and investigators say he was the mastermind who converted this illicit cash into an empire of influence and property.
