Anwar Dhebar in ED custody
Big news related to ED investigation is coming out. According to the information received, the central agency has issued summons to many hoteliers of Raipur, including senior officials of the Excise Department and liquor traders for questioning in the liquor scam case. Let us inform that after the liquor scam in Delhi, a liquor scam has also come to the fore in Chhattisgarh. The scam was allegedly being operated with the help of top politicians and bureaucrats from Chhattisgarh. The Enforcement Directorate has busted this Rs 2000 crore liquor scam in the Congress-ruled state. The ED had arrested the main accused in this case Anwar Dhebar on Saturday itself, who has been sent to ED custody for four days.
The ED had earlier conducted searches at several places in the month of March and recorded statements of several people involved in the alleged scam. The agency claims that it has collected evidence of “huge corruption and money laundering of Rs 2000 crore between 2019 – 2022”. The ED issued a statement saying, ‘PMLA investigation revealed that an organized criminal syndicate led by Anwar Dhebar was operating in the state of Chhattisgarh. Apart from one person, Anwar Dhebar had the blessings of top politicians and senior bureaucrats of the state.
ED has once again summoned Mayor Ejaz Dhebar for questioning. In this episode, the mayor held a press conference before the ED inquiry. Against ED action, the mayor said that ED officials are taking action under pressure. Ejaz Dhebar said that efforts are being made to harass the Congress workers. My brother has been accused of a scam of more than 2 thousand crores, but how will it be proved. In the rule of BJP, there was a stronghold of corruption. Why is no action taken against them?
Dhebar said that being the mayor of Raipur Municipal Corporation, he has written a letter to the ED officials. I am made to sit for 10-10 hours in the name of questioning. The work of our corporation is getting affected. We are fully cooperating with the inquiry, but it is wrong to do such an act out of political malice. Dhebar said that my brother Anwar is talking about getting property worth 2,200 crores. Can’t prove it in court. Just being bothered. After joining BJP all the matters get settled. On the other hand, Ejaz Dhebar said that people are being harassed from house to house in the Karnataka elections. We will continue to oppose this work. Please inform that Ejaz Dhebar’s brother has been arrested from a private hotel on Saturday, who is on remand for 4 days.
