Raipur, December 28, 2024: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at the residence of Congress MLA Kawasi Lakhma and his son as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation. The action is related to alleged financial irregularities, with the ED looking into possible illicit activities linked to Lakhma’s business dealings and political influence.
Kawasi Lakhma, a prominent Congress leader in Chhattisgarh, has been under the scanner for his involvement in the alleged laundering of funds through various channels. The raids, which took place at multiple locations, are part of the ED’s broader investigation into corruption and money laundering in the state. Lakhma and his son are said to be cooperating with the authorities, though no formal charges have been filed yet.
This development comes amid rising political tensions in Chhattisgarh, as opposition parties have raised concerns over the state’s governance and alleged corruption. The ED’s actions are seen as a significant step in the agency’s efforts to curb financial crimes and ensure accountability among public officials.
