Chhattisgarh / Raipur :
IAS officer Ranu Sahu was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Chhattisgarh on July 22, one day after the Central Agency conducted raids at her premises in connection with a money laundering case. Sahu's arrest is related to an alleged coal levy case, and she was produced in court for hearings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Saurabh Pandey, the ED's lawyer, confirmed the arrest and stated that Sahu is the second IAS officer in the state to be apprehended in the case. Ranu Sahu, a 2010-batch Chhattisgarh-cadre IAS officer, currently serves as the director of the state agriculture department. She previously held the position of collector in the coal-rich districts of Korba and Raigarh.
The ED had previously conducted raids at Sahu's residence in Raipur and attached her assets as part of the ongoing probe into the alleged coal levy case. This case has led to the arrest of several prominent bureaucrats, politicians, and individuals associated with them, including another IAS officer, Sameer Vishnoi, from the 2009 batch, who was arrested last year.
The investigation is centered on an alleged coal levy and liquor scam in Chhattisgarh, and the ED continues to delve into various aspects of the case, aiming to uncover any potential instances of money laundering and illicit financial activities.
