Sad state of affairs': SC calls out ED over liquor scam probe

Hindustan Times Gurugram

|

January 18, 2025

The Supreme Court on Friday criticised the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after its law officer raised concerns about an affidavit filed in a crucial bail matter related to the Chhattisgarh liquor scam, calling the situation within the agency a "sad state of affairs."

- Abraham Thomas

NEW DELHI:

Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju initially claimed something was "hanky panky" within the department when he discovered an affidavit had been filed without his vetting. However, he later agreed to proceed with the same document after the court refused to allow the agency to "disown" its affidavit.

The bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan was hearing the bail plea of Arun Pati Tripathi, a former Chhattisgarh excise official accused of being a kingpin in the ₹2,000 crore alleged liquor scam. Tripathi allegedly helped a syndicate of businessmen and bureaucrats run a parallel excise industry by collecting bribes from liquor retailers.
