ED Searches Congress Leader Ram Gopal Agrawal's Home After Arrest in Liquor Scam Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched Congress leader Ram Gopal Agrawal's residence in Chhattisgarh's Dhamtari district days after arresting him in connection with an alleged liquor scam. Protests by Congress leaders and workers occurred outside his home, with party officials alleging that central agencies target opposition members to intimidate them. Agrawal was previously arrested by the state's Economic Offences Wing over a coal levy scam and is also being questioned in related cases. ED searches were also conducted at other locations in Raipur.
