The Enforcement Wing and Anti‑Corruption Bureau in Chhattisgarh have filed a tenth supplementary charge sheet in the ongoing liquor scam case, naming twenty individuals as accused.
The Enforcement Wing (EOW) together with the Anti‑Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Chhattisgarh has submitted its tenth supplementary charge sheet in the high‑profile liquor scam that has been under investigation for several months. The case, which involves alleged irregularities in the allocation and distribution of liquor licences, has already seen multiple rounds of evidence collection and witness statements.
The latest charge sheet lists twenty persons – ranging from former officials to private businessmen – as accused of colluding to manipulate the licensing process for personal gain. The document details alleged financial transactions, forged approvals and the misuse of official authority to favour certain liquor manufacturers.
Law enforcement officials said the filing marks a significant step toward concluding the investigation, and that the accused will be summoned for interrogation in the coming days. The court is expected to schedule a hearing to determine bail and further procedural matters, while the state government has pledged to strengthen oversight mechanisms to prevent similar scams in the future.
