SC Bench led by CJI Surya Kant upheld Chaitanya Baghel's bail but expunged the High Court's adverse remarks against the state EOW.

Chaitanya alleged that people have understood how the BJP-led central government targets opposition parties through investigative agencies.

Chaitanya was produced before the court on Wednesday and has been remanded to EOW custody until 6 October.

The ED alleged that Chaitanya was involved in managing over Rs 1,000 crore of “proceeds of crime” generated through the liquor scam.

During his custodial remand, Chaitanya was interrogated and confronted with statements and documents during which he conceded at many points.

ED said the Chhattisgarh liquor scam caused a major loss to the state and generated over ₹2,100 crore in illegal gains for a liquor syndicate.
