Jharkhand High Court Denies Bail in ₹129 Crore Liquor Scam

Jharkhand High Court Denies Bail in ₹129 Crore Liquor Scam

A high-ranking government official named Vinay Chaubey, who used to work in the Jharkhand state government, has been denied bail by the court.

He's accused of being involved in a large scam related to liquor sales.

This means that people in charge of the liquor business were possibly cheating the state.

The police think Chaubey misused his position.

The scam involves manipulating rules to help certain companies get contracts, and these companies are believed to have provided fake financial guarantees, leading to the state losing a lot of money.

The court's decision means Chaubey will remain in custody while the case continues.
