Chhattisgarh liquor scam: Ex-IAS Anil Tuteja withdraws plea challenging arrest by ED

Former IAS officer Anil Tuteja, involved in the Chhattisgarh liquor scam, has withdrawn his petition challenging the legality of his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Tuteja had earlier contested the ED’s authority to arrest him, arguing that the arrest was made without proper grounds and was legally unsustainable. However, Tuteja has now decided to withdraw the plea and face the legal proceedings without further contest. The case concerns allegations of money laundering linked to the liquor distribution network in Chhattisgarh, and Tuteja’s arrest is part of the ED’s larger investigation into the scam. The withdrawal marks a significant development in the ongoing probe, clearing the way for Tuteja’s participation in the investigation.
