Chhattisgarh liquor 'scam': HC grants bail to former CM Bhupesh Baghel's son Chaitanya

Business To Business, Raipur, 02 January, 2026: The Chhattisgarh High Court approved bail for Chaitanya Baghel, the son of former chief minister and prominent Congress figure Bhupesh Baghel, in two cases associated with the purported liquor scam.
 
The High Court granted him bail in a case filed by the Enforcement Directorate and another by the Chhattisgarh Anti Corruption Bureau/Economic Offence Wing, as reported by ED counsel Saurabh Kumar Pande to the media.
 
The Enforcement Directorate apprehended Chaitanya Baghel in July of the previous year as part of its investigation into money laundering related to the alleged scam, while the ACB/EOW arrested him in September in connection with its corruption investigation, even while he was already incarcerated.
