Anil Tuteja, who has been incarcerated in Raipur Central Jail for over a year in connection with the liquor scam, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court. However, he continues to remain in custody due to a separate arrest warrant issued by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in another case.

During the raid, CBI officers questioned Tuteja’s wife, son, and other family members present at the residence. The team is reported to be examining a large volume of documents, including digital records, to uncover further evidence related to financial irregularities and alleged misuse of official power during his tenure.

The raids are part of a larger crackdown on corruption and illegal syndicates in Chhattisgarh, where multiple senior bureaucrats and businessmen have come under the scanner.
