Chhattisgarh High Court Grants Bail to Bhupesh Baghel’s Son in Liquor Scam Cases
Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh – The Chhattisgarh High Court today granted bail to Chaitanya Baghel, son of former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel, in two separate cases related to the ongoing investigation into the alleged liquor scam in the state.
The decision comes as the investigation into the alleged irregularities in the liquor trade continues to unfold in Chhattisgarh. While details of the specific charges against Chaitanya Baghel remain under wraps, the granting of bail marks a significant development in the high-profile case.
The alleged scam has been a major point of contention between the ruling BJP government and the opposition Congress party. The BJP has accused the previous Congress administration of involvement in large-scale corruption within the liquor sector, while the Congress has refuted the allegations, claiming they are politically motivated.
Further details regarding the conditions of Chaitanya Baghel’s bail are expected to be released soon. The investigation into the alleged liquor scam is ongoing, and further arrests and developments are anticipated in the coming weeks.
