The Enforcement Directorate has lodged a supplementary complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against the former treasurer of the Chhattisgarh Congress, alleging involvement in a liquor scam.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a supplementary complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against the former treasurer of the Chhattisgarh Congress. The filing, reported by the Daily Pioneer, links the party official to a liquor‑related scam that is currently under investigation.
According to the ED, the supplementary complaint seeks to probe alleged money‑laundering activities that may have arisen from the alleged scam. The agency has not disclosed further details about the financial transactions or the scale of the alleged misconduct.
The former treasurer has been a subject of prior scrutiny in connection with the liquor case, and the new filing expands the scope of the investigation. No arrest or court hearing has been announced so far, and the ED has indicated that the matter will continue to be examined under the provisions of the PMLA.
This development reflects the broader anti‑corruption drive by Indian enforcement agencies, which have been intensifying probes into political figures suspected of financial improprieties.
