The Enforcement Directorate searched the residence of the former personal assistant of ex‑Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in Chhattisgarh as part of a probe into the state public service commission.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid on the house of the former personal assistant (PA) of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The operation is linked to an ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC) recruitment process.
According to the agency, the raid was aimed at seizing documents, electronic devices and other material that could shed light on the alleged misconduct. No arrests were reported at the time of the search.
The CGPSC probe, which has been under scrutiny for possible manipulation of selection procedures, has prompted several enforcement actions across the state. Officials said the ED will continue its inquiry and may expand the investigation based on the evidence gathered.
The raid underscores the central government's focus on curbing corruption in state-level recruitment bodies and signals heightened vigilance by investigative agencies in politically sensitive cases.
