The Anti-Corruption Bureau has accused Chaubey of collaborating with the Chhattisgarh liquor syndicate to formulate a new liquor policy in Jharkhand, causing financial loss to the state government.
As per government service rules, any official held in custody for over 48 hours is liable to be suspended from service, a provision invoked in this case.
The liquor scam in Chhattisgarh involves a Raipur-based syndicate which supplied liquor to Jharkhand using fake holograms, resulting in a scam worth crores.
