The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested four persons, including two mining officers, in connection with the alleged money laundering in a coal levy case in Chhattisgarh.
One of the accused is allegedly a close aide of Saumya Chaurasia, deputy secretary to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. Chaurasia was arrested by the agency last month.
In October, the ED had arrested three persons – IAS officer Sameer Vishnoi, Laxmikant Tiwari and Sunil Kumar Agarwal of Indramani Group. The agency last year had claimed that Raigadh Collector Ranu Sahu and kingpin of the alleged scam Suryakant Tiwari were missing.
