New Delhi's Enforcement Directorate (ED) has lodged a claim that a sum of Rs 880 crore, allegedly generated through a liquor scam in Chhattisgarh, was handed over to a Congress party office in the state. The agency's statement links the massive amount directly to the political office, suggesting a possible breach of the law.
