The Enforcement Directorate struck hard against the coal levy mafia in Raipur, attaching ₹2.66 crore worth of assets as part of its money laundering investigation into the sprawling fraud. This escalation highlights the depth of corruption embedded in Chhattisgarh’s coal trade corridors. At the heart of the scandal is an alleged cartel that extorted levies from thousands of coal trucks daily, amassing illegal wealth through intimidation and collusion. ED documents detail how funds were laundered via benami properties and luxury purchases, evading tax radars for months.
