Raipur. The troubles of veteran Congress leader and current CM Bhupesh Baghel, who is trying to form the government again in Chhattisgarh, may increase. Enforcement Directorate i.e. ED can summon Bhupesh Baghel for questioning in the Mahadev Betting App case. ED had recently alleged that the people of Mahadev betting app gave Rs 508 crore to Bhupesh Baghel. ED had said that investigation is going on in this matter. ED had arrested a person associated with Mahadev Betting App with cash worth more than Rs 5 crore. Only after this, Bhupesh Baghel’s name cropped up in this case for the first time. At the same time, Bhupesh Baghel says that he does not know anyone associated with Mahadev Betting App. Baghel says that due to political reasons, the ruling BJP at the Center is trying to implicate him through ED.
Earlier, a video had come of a person named Shubham Soni, who claimed to be the owner of Mahadev Betting App. In this video, Shubham Soni had taken the name of Bhupesh Baghel. Shubham Soni had said in the video that he was the one who started the Mahadev Betting App and later other people also became a part of it. Shubham had claimed in the video that when the police started arresting those who worked with him, he contacted a person named Verma in Chhattisgarh. This person took Rs 10 lakh from him every month. Still, the police kept arresting the people of Mahadev Betting App. Shubham Soni had said that after talking about this, Verma took him to CM Bhupesh Baghel. Then the police action slowed down. He had claimed in the video that he gave Rs 508 crore to CM Baghel.
ED has accused Bhupesh Baghel and claimed that from the person who was arrested with Rs 5 crore, he has also got chats of those running Mahadev betting app. In these chats, Mahadev is asking the person running the betting app to deliver this amount to Baghel in Raipur. For this reason, Bhupesh Baghel has now come on the radar of ED. Let us tell you that in many other cases in Chhattisgarh, ED has earlier also taken action against the leaders and officers of the ruling Congress. Now his investigation has turned towards CM Bhupesh Baghel.
