Former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel’s residence raided by CBI

New Delhi: The CBI has conducted searches at the residence of former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel in connection with the alleged Rs 6,000 crore Mahadev app scam.
The agency teams swooped down at Baghel’s residences in Raipur and Bhilai, as well as the houses of a senior police officer and a close associate of the former CM.
The CBI has taken over the investigation from the Economic Offences Wing of the Chhattisgarh Police, which had earlier named Congress leader Baghel, promoters of the app, Ravi Uppal, Saurabh Chandrakar, Shubham Soni, and Anil Kumar Agrawal, and 14 others in its FIR.
Baghel had termed the EOW FIR “politically motivated.”
