Saralnama: Former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was not allowed to meet his son Chaitanya in jail on Diwali. Chaitanya was arrested by the ED in a ₹2,500 crore liquor scam case. Baghel expressed his sadness on Twitter, recalling how 20 years ago, then-CM Ajit Jogi had permitted him to meet his jailed father on Diwali. He blamed PM Modi and Amit Shah for his son's imprisonment. Congress leaders criticized the BJP government, calling it inhumane and politically motivated. They claimed Chaitanya was arrested on false charges. The Chhattisgarh High Court recently rejected Chaitanya's bail plea. (Updated 20 Oct 2025, 12:49 IST; source: link)
