Political Storm as CBI Raids Former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel's Residences

The CBI conducted searches at former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel's residences, accusing him of involvement in the Mahadev app scam. The Congress labeled it a politically driven act by the BJP to intimidate opposition. Reactions highlight the political tensions and alleged misuse of investigative agencies.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday carried out searches at the residence of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in connection with the Rs 6,000 crore Mahadev app scam.

The agency's teams targeted multiple locations, including the homes of key Congress leaders and police officials. The Congress condemned the searches, labeling them as politically motivated attempts by the BJP to undermine the opposition.

The case revolves around allegations of illegal online betting and money laundering associated with the Mahadev app. The Congress claims the raids are a tactic to distract from governance issues and silence critics.
