Overview
- Filed on December 22 before the Special Court in Raipur, the seventh supplementary chargesheet brings the total in the case to eight and places digital evidence and investigation status on record.
- Investigators allege Chaitanya Baghel coordinated flows between senior administrators Anil Tuteja, Soumya Chaurasia, Arunpati Tripathi and Niranjan Das and ground operatives Anwar Dhebar, Arvind Singh and Vikas Agarwal.
- The chargesheet claims he received about ₹200–₹250 crore through firms linked to liquor businessman Trilok Singh Dhillon, moved funds via banking channels to family companies and deployed them in under‑construction real estate projects.
- The probe pegs illegal proceeds at roughly ₹3,074 crore with indications the total could rise beyond ₹3,500 crore as financial trails are further examined.
- A parallel Enforcement Directorate case earlier arrested Chaitanya Baghel on July 18 and states he handled around ₹1,000 crore, with multiple accused already in custody and further suspects under investigation.
