    [Rs 2,000 Crore Chhattisgarh Liquor Scam] SC Asks UP Police Not To Take Action Against Officials Involved

    The Supreme Court has stayed the proceedings related to an FIR filed by the Uttar Pradesh STF concerning the Rs 2,000 crore Chhattisgarh liquor scam. The stay was issued while hearing a petition filed by Vidhu Gupta, a Noida-based hologram manufacturer arrested by the UP STF. The FIR alleges manipulation in the tender process for hologram supply to the Chhattisgarh excise department. The ED claims that duplicate holograms were manufactured, leading to a liquor syndicate deceiving consumers. The allegations involve high-level officials and political figures generating illegal funds through liquor sales. The ED was directed to provide reports underpinning their complaint, and the court refrained from entertaining a challenge to the ED’s powers. The Chhattisgarh government accused the ED of overreaching in its investigation efforts.
