Durg: On Wednesday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out a massive raid at various places associated with Mokshit Corporation, located in Durg district of poll-bound Chhattisgarh. The move is linked to the purported 650 crore scam in the Chhattisgarh Medical Services Corporation Limited (CGMSC) that has sparked concern across the state.
The sources report that the ED, along with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), executed raids on three residential and office addresses of Mokshit Corporation in Durg. The operation was undertaken with the presence of more than two dozen officials, accompanied by the heavy presence of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). Security-wise, the premises had been sealed off completely, limiting the movement of strangers into the premises as the searches were being done.
As soon as the sites were entered, the ED teams are said to have rolled in in a convoy of approximately a dozen vehicles and started examining the documents at the office and residential premises. When the news of the raids started spreading, huge numbers of locals crowded around the place where the investigation was going on. Although the authorities have yet to reveal what was taken by the authorities in the searches, indications are that a formal statement is imminent when the operation is completed.
Mokshit Corporation was put under the scanner after it was engaged in the alleged CGMSC scam. Several investigative agencies have already undertaken a series of activities regarding this case in the course of the past few months. The EOW and the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) had carried out a joint raid last year around six months ago in the same case. Also, on January 27, 2025, properties related to Mokshit Corporation and people Shantilal and Shashank Chopra were searched by EOW-ACB teams in Ganjpara. The ED probe is underway to trace and track financial anomalies and find out further connections in the case of the multi-crore scam.
