Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], October 29 (ANI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday conducted raids against IAS Vinay Chaubey, former Excise Department Secretary, and others in connection with an alleged liquor scam case in Jharkhand's Ranchi.
ED is conducting raids on the basis of FIR filed against Chaubey in the Chhattisgarh liquor scam case.
In September, Chhattisgarh's anti-corruption bureau and Economic Offence Wing (WOW) filed an FIR against a syndicate comprising seven individuals, including Vinay Kumar Chaubey for allegedly causing a loss to the exchequer by altering the state's liquor policy.
Earlier in August, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in Raipur had arrested two people under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in the ongoing money laundering investigation into the liquor scam in Chhattisgarh.
ED initiated an investigation on the basis of an FIR registered by the Anti-Corruption Bureau and Economic Offences Wing of Chhattisgarh under various sections of the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act in the matter of a liquor scam in the State of Chhattisgarh.
The ED investigation revealed that the corruption in the liquor scam, which ran between 2019 and 2022, was done in multiple ways. (ANI)
