Baghel challenges ED, CBI powers in SC, fears arrest & seeks anticipatory bail
Raipur: AICC general secretary and former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel has approached the Supreme Court to challenge the jurisdiction and powers of the CBI and ED , while also seeking anticipatory bail in cases under investigation by the ED, CBI, and the state Economic Offences Wing (EOW). The case is set for a hearing on Monday. Baghel's application follows the arrest of his son, Chaitanya Baghel, by the ED in connection with an alleged Rs 2,100 crore liquor scam. A close aide of the former chief minister told TOI that the plea primarily aims to contest the ED and CBI's authority, alongside the anticipatory bail petition. In his petition, Baghel stated that he fears being targeted for political reasons, similar to his son Chaitanya Baghel, who was taken into custody by the ED last month. Despite seeking protection from arrest in both the liquor scam and the Mahadev betting app cases, Baghel has assured full cooperation with the investigating agencies. Meanwhile, Chaitanya Baghel, currently held in Raipur jail, has also filed a bail petition in the Supreme Court. His counsel, Faizal Rizvi, informed TOI that Chaitanya's plea asserts that his name does not appear in the ED's FIR or any witness statements and claims that his arrest is politically motivated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo Chaitanya's judicial remand is due to conclude on Monday, after which he will be presented in court. The ED is anticipated to request an extension. The ED arrested Chaitanya on July 18, 2024, under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. His arrest coincided with his 38th birthday and followed what the agency described as new evidence in the alleged scam. According to Rizvi, while the ED alleged that Chaitanya received an interest-free loan of Rs 5 crore from a jeweller, documents submitted in February 2025 indicate that the loan was repaid with interest. The ED further claimed that proceeds from the liquor scam were invested in Chaitanya's real estate project. Earlier this year, the ED raided Bhupesh Baghel's residence in connection with the liquor scam. A month later, the CBI conducted searches at his home regarding the Mahadev betting app case. Raids were also carried out at the residences of his former OSDs. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
