Coal levy case: ED raids at locations linked to Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh

The enforcement directorate (ED) on Monday raided locations in Raipur linked to eight Congress leaders and office bearers in a money laundering case linked to the alleged coal levy scam in Chhattisgarh.

This development comes days ahead of the plenary session which is scheduled to be held from February 24 to 26 with over 10,000 Congress functionaries and senior leaders set to participate in the event.

The ED searches are being undertaken in state capital Raipur and Durg district, a senior police official said.
