Mr. Baghel has been listed as FIR in FIR and has been designated as the sixth place of 19 named.

The allegations have been rejected by Baghel, who referred to the CBI action as political motivation.

The CBI registered the FIR on December 18 last year and searched the residence in Baghel on March 26. FIR was released on Tuesday.

According to the state government’s procedures to mention the CBI, the agency re-registered the state police’s FIR as its own case.

The central agency takes the FIR as the starting point of the investigation and conducts an investigation into the special court in the form of a final report and provides its findings to the special court, which may or may not raise the FIR charges.

The state government mentioned that the FIR of CBI’s Chhattisgarh Eow was submitted to the state police according to the law enforcement bureau.

The ED report has become part of the EOW FIR and is now part of the CBI case, saying Dubai-based Sourabh Chandrakar, Ravi Uppal, Shubham Soni and Anil Kumar Agrawal are the main owners of the company’s Mahadev online book, through “Online” Betting Empire’s “Mahadev Online Book” through “Matter Calls” Centers.

The report also said the company’s promoters and accomplices obtained citizenship in Vanuatu in “escaping the shackles of the law.”

It claims that the concerns of Mahadev online books and its sisters generate a monthly gambling income of Rs 4.5 crore.

ED claims the promoters and colleagues are dealing with cryptocurrencies to hide the traces of money from authorities.

In the alleged Baghel role, ED reports that he has been named by the sponsor of Mahadev Online Book as the “beneficiary” of the betting fund.

Ed said in 2023 it seized Rs 533 crore in cash from an alleged cash courier, Asim Das.

Federal agencies say it is able to get sound from Asim Das’s phone, the note claimed to have been shared by Shubham Soni.

It is allegedly “obvious” that the seized account was targeted at a “Mr. Baghel” who was identified by Asim Das as “Mr. Bhupesh Baghel’s former CM” in a statement dated November 3, 2023.

“According to the pronunciation, Shubham Soni claimed that he also paid before this incident,” the report said.

ED arrested DAS from a hotel in Raipur in 2023 ahead of the first phase of the first phase of the poll in Chhattisgarh.

Following the March 26 search, Bagher said the last Congressional administration took harsh action against the Mahadev Betting app.

“During the state’s (formerly) Congressional administration, about 74 FIRs were arrested and more than 200 arrests were held during the state’s (formerly) Congressional administration, and more than 2,000 bank accounts associated with it were frozen.

He claimed: “We took action on the app, but they (government agencies) claimed that we protected the app and took the money.

Baghel also claimed that the then Congressional government had asked the center to send surveillance to Chandrakar and Uppal and arrest them from foreign destinations.

“But (Religious Sergeant) praised the BJP’s Pradeep Mishra, who became a guest of Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal. If CBI officials have the courage, they should ask Pardeep Mishra, whose plans are currently in the hometown of Chief Minister Jashnu de sai and Jashper and Jashper and Jusrra, his plans are underway, Baghel said.

“The investigation revealed that the sponsors allegedly paid a large amount of ‘protective funds’ to civil servants to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted functionality of their illegal betting network,” the CBI said in a statement after the search.
