Money laundering case leads to ED arrest of Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel’s aide

PTI reported that the Enforcement Directorate arrested a top Chhattisgarh bureaucrat on Friday.
Saumaya Chaurasia is the official, a deputy secretary in Bhupesh Baghel’s administration.
The Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) took Chaurasia into custody.
An alleged scam involves a cartel involving senior bureaucrats, businessmen, politicians and middlemen extorting Rs 25 per tonne from every tonne of coal transported in Chhattisgarh.
The agency had arrested Sameer Vishnoi and two others in October after conducting several raids.
As he spoke to reporters last week, Baghel stepped up his attack on the ED, accusing it of overstepping its bounds and treating people inhumanely.
