CBI Raids in Chhattisgarh Expose Mahadev App's Betting Scandal

Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai addressed the CBI raids targeting locations associated with former CM Bhupesh Baghel. The raids aim at a conspiracy involving the Mahadev Betting App, accused of ensnaring youth in gambling. The CBI, prompted by public complaints, has intensified its investigation into the alleged Rs 6,000 crore scam.

In a noteworthy development, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai announced that the recent CBI raids are focused on dismantling a betting conspiracy linked to a mobile application.

The raids targeted sites connected to former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, implicating several officers and close aides.

Sai claimed the operation is tied to the Mahadev Betting App, a scheme he accuses of corrupting the youth. Allegations suggest some perpetrators are international, prompting the state to involve the CBI, which conducted widespread raids today.
