<h1>ED raids former chief minister's home in son's liquor scam money laundering probe</h1> The Enforcement Directorate conducted fresh searches at the residence of a former Chhattisgarh chief minister as part of a money laundering investigation against his son in an alleged liquor scam case. The raids were conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act following receipt of new evidence. The investigation focuses on the son who is suspected of being a recipient of proceeds from the alleged scam that reportedly caused over Rs 2,100 crore loss to the state exchequer between 2019-2022. The ED has previously arrested several individuals including a former minister, IAS officer, and others in connection with this case. Assets worth approximately Rs 205 crore have been attached during the investigation. The Supreme Court had earlier quashed the ED's initial case, but the agency filed a fresh case after a new FIR was registered by state authorities in January 2024.
