According to him, the liquor policy in Jharkhand was altered by officials involved in the syndicate to facilitate the scam.During the investigation, ED found that officials from the corporation had colluded with liquor traders to form a syndicate, causing financial losses to the Chhattisgarh government. It was also revealed that the same syndicate responsible for the liquor scam in Chhattisgarh was also behind the formulation of the new excise policy in Jharkhand, which allegedly facilitated a similar scam there.Based on this information, the Chhattisgarh ED summoned Vinay Chaubey for questioning. Chaubey reportedly claimed innocence during his interrogation by the Chhattisgarh ED, stating that the new excise policy was implemented with the government’s approval and that he was not personally responsible for any wrongdoing.Following the registration of an FIR by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand ACB, after obtaining the necessary permission from the state government, had initiated a preliminary enquiry (PE) into the alleged scam.After the initial probe, a regular FIR was filed with government approval and Vinay Chaubey is now being interrogated in connection with that case.
