In a recent development by the Enforcement Directorate, Chaitanya Baghel, son of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, "handled" more than Rs 1,000 crore worth of "proceeds of crime." The money was generated from a liquor "scam" in the state. Former CM Baghel’s son used Rs 16.7 crore for the development of his real estate project, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleged on Monday.

As reported by PTI, the businessman was arrested by the federal probe agency at his house in Bhilai's Mansarovar Colony on 18 July, his 38th birthday. The arrest of Chaitanya Baghel came after the agency raided the house.

On the same day when the ED raided Chaitanya’s house, where he resided with his father, he was sent to ED custody for five days by a Raipur court. Chaitanya Baghel is expected to be produced before the same court on Tuesday.
