ED raids seven sites in Chhattisgarh in CGPSC money‑laundering probe

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has carried out searches at seven different premises in Chhattisgarh, focusing on a money‑laundering case that authorities say is connected to the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC). The raids were conducted simultaneously, targeting offices, residences and other properties believed to be involved in the alleged financial irregularities.

Investigators are probing whether funds were diverted or laundered through channels linked to the CGPSC recruitment process. While the ED has not disclosed the exact nature of the evidence seized, officials indicated that the operation aims to uncover the flow of illicit money and identify any individuals or entities that facilitated the scheme.

State officials have refrained from commenting on the specifics of the probe, and the CGPSC has not released a statement regarding the raids. The agency’s actions underscore a broader crackdown on financial crimes in the state, with the ED emphasizing its commitment to pursuing cases that threaten the integrity of public institutions.

The development adds to a series of recent anti‑corruption measures across India, highlighting the central government's focus on strengthening enforcement mechanisms against money laundering and related offenses.
