The Enforcement Directorate has seized 355 land parcels valued at about Rs 61 crore that are alleged to be linked to the son of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid and confiscated 355 land plots across Chhattisgarh, with an estimated market value of Rs 61 crore. The properties are reported to be in the name of the son of the state’s chief minister, Bhupesh Baghel, and are part of a broader money‑laundering investigation. Officials said the seizure follows intelligence inputs linking the parcels to illicit financial transactions. The ED has not disclosed the exact locations of the plots but confirmed they span multiple districts. The action adds to ongoing scrutiny of political figures and their families in the state, with authorities emphasizing that the probe is strictly evidence‑based and independent of political considerations.
