Raipur, April 18
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted a raid on retired IAS officer Anil Tuteja's residence in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, on Friday.
The raids are believed to be conducted in search of further documentary evidence in the Rs 2000 crore Chhattisgarh liquor and other scams.
Reports said a Delhi-based special team of the agency, comprising six members, searched the premises for incriminating evidence. This recent raid ties into a series of ongoing probes into several scams, including the Naan scam, the Mahadev app betting scam, and allegations of corruption in coal allocation and excise dealings.
Tuteja’s name has repeatedly surfaced as a pivotal figure in these scandals, making him a prime accused in the multi-layered investigations.
His financial dealings and alleged role in these murky operations have drawn the keen attention of authorities.
The Naan scam, linked to the Chhattisgarh State Civil Supplies Corporation, involves accusations of large-scale embezzlement and corruption running into crores of rupees. Parallelly, the Mahadev app betting case and the coal scam implicate several other influential individuals in the state.
This new round of actions suggests the possibility of more revelations and indictments in the coming days.
