<h1>Son of former chief minister accused of running Rs 2,500 crore liquor syndicate and laundering Rs 1,000 crore under PMLA</h1> A federal investigation alleges the son of a former state chief minister led an organised liquor syndicate that generated roughly Rs 2,500 crore and that he personally handled about Rs 1,000 crore of illicit proceeds, prompting a supplementary prosecution complaint under money-laundering laws. The agency charges him with conspiring to conceal, possess, acquire and use proceeds of crime, layering funds into real-estate projects and directing cash deliveries to party officials; digital chats and witness statements are cited as evidence. Multiple arrests, an earlier FIR naming scores of individuals and companies, and allegations of systemic official involvement underpin ongoing PMLA and corruption proceedings.
