The Enforcement Directorate alleged another "scam" in poll-bound Chhattisgarh on Monday, claiming a former managing director of the state Marketing Federation Limited or MARKFED, and an office-bearer of a local rice millers' association generated Rs 175 crore in bribe for the "benefit of higher powers".
Over the last few months, the agency has claimed to have unearthed a coal levy, a liquor duty and an illegal online betting app "scam" in the Congress-ruled state.
The agency has alleged that in all these instances, kickbacks worth crores of rupees were generated through a nexus of local politicians and bureaucrats. It has arrested a number of IAS officers, a police officer and some others.
