India News: ED on Wednesday froze demat accounts containing shares worth Rs 100 crore in a money laundering case related to Mahadev gaming app and seized around Rs 2 crore in cash in raids at 17 premises. The raids were carried out in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, and in Chhattisgarh and MP.
Taking to X, senior Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel alleged that the ED "engineered the entire incident" and was "pressuring people" to give statements against him and his colleagues.
In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has named former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Bhupesh Baghel, in a supplementary chargesheet filed on January 1, 2024.
The ED in its second prosecution complaint (charge sheet) filed before a special court in Raipur on January 1 stated that alleged courier Asim Das, arrested in the Mahadev betting app case, who claimed he had been sent to "deliver" cash to Bhupesh Baghel, has retracted his denial of having made the charges.
