The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Raipur has filed an FIR against former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and 20 others, including 19 named individuals, in connection with the Mahadev App case. The FIR, registered on March 4 under sections 120B, 34, 406, 420, 467, 468, and 471 of the IPC, implicates a total of 21 people. Baghel, the Congress candidate from the Rajnandgaon Lok Sabha constituency, has denounced the FIR as politically motivated. He highlighted that despite investigations by the I-T, ED, and CBI since 2021, and ED's interference in the state government's probe, no evidence has been found against him. Baghel criticized the omission of officers' names from the FIR, suggesting a targeted approach against him. The case involves allegations related to the Mahadev Book online betting scam, with unnamed bureaucrats and police officers also implicated.
