ED Team Attacked in Chhattisgarh
An Enforcement Directorate (ED) team was allegedly attacked by unidentified miscreants in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, while returning after conducting a raid at the residence of former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. Reports suggest that stones were pelted at their vehicles, though no injuries were reported. The ED has stated that an FIR will be filed in connection with the incident.
The raid was part of an investigation into excise fraud and money laundering cases involving Baghel’s son, leading to the seizure of ₹30 lakh. The attack has raised concerns about the safety of central agencies operating in the state and highlights the escalating tensions surrounding high-profile corruption probes. Authorities are now under pressure to ensure the security of investigative teams and maintain the rule of law.
