Chaitanya Baghel, Son of ExCM Bhupesh Baghel, Arrested by ED in 2,160 Crore Liquor Scam

Published: Jul 18, 2025

Chaitanya Baghel, son of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday The arrest is linked to an investigation into an alleged multi-crore liquor scam in the state and related money laundering activities.

ED Raids at Baghel Residences in Raipur and Bhilai

On Friday morning, ED teams conducted raids at the Baghel family's residences in Raipur and Bhilai (Durg district). The arrest followed shortly after. According to ED sources, the action was based on new evidence obtained during a previous raid in March.

What Is the Case About?

The Enforcement Directorate suspects that Chaitanya Baghel received illegal funds connected to an alleged 2,160 crore liquor scam that reportedly took place during the Congress government's tenure in Chhattisgarh between 2019 and 2023.

ED alleges that a parallel liquor distribution network was operated under the scam. Illegally produced liquor from distilleries was supplied directly to government-run outlets, bypassing taxes and duties. This led to a significant financial loss for the state exchequer.

Heavy Security During ED Action

The ED's raid on the Baghel residence in Bhilai was carried out under tight security, with central forces deployed to maintain order. Following several hours of questioning, Chaitanya Baghel was taken into custody and then arrested.

In an official statement, the ED said, “Chaitanya Baghel is believed to be a beneficiary of the alleged 2,160 crore liquor scam. He is being prosecuted under sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).”

According to the agency, the money generated through illegal liquor sales was routed through multiple accounts and entities to disguise its origin. The ED is also probing the involvement of several influential individuals.

Congress Reacts

The Congress party has yet to issue an official statement on the arrest, though party insiders claim it is an act of political vendetta. Meanwhile, BJP leaders have hailed the ED's action as bold and necessary.
