According to investigation details obtained by The Indian Express, the distillers allegedly sold the Chhattisgarh State Marketing Corporation between April and June 2022 Ltd. (CSMCL) 40 lakh cases of country liquor, but these were not recorded in the books of the company. Further, these liquor bottles were allegedly pasted with fake holograms and sold through CSMCL outlets. The ED alleged, however, that the state did not receive any tax revenue on these as these were not in the books of CSMCL.
