Enforcement Directorate arrests Chhattisgarh Congress leader in liquor scam case

In a place in India called Chhattisgarh, officials are investigating something called a liquor scam.

A scam happens when people cheat or steal money in a clever, tricky way.

They believe some important people secretly made money from selling alcohol illegally.

The Enforcement Directorate, a big office that looks into money crimes, arrested a man named Ramgopal Agrawal.

He is a leader of a political party called the Congress.

The officials say he received money worth 72 crore rupees that was not earned fairly.

A judge sent him to stay with the officials for seven days so they can ask him questions.

Agrawal's party says the officials are just being unfair to them because of politics.

The officials also say the state lost a very large amount of money, about 2,883 crore rupees.

Many other people are also being looked into for this case.
