Ashish Shinde, a leader of the Youth Congress, has been taken into custody. The arrest is in relation to the alleged assistance provided to KK Srivastava, who is accused of being involved in a major financial fraud. Srivastava, a tantrik with close ties to former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, was arrested after an extensive investigation. It is alleged that Shinde helped Srivastava evade the authorities. Srivastava’s interrogation led to the revelation of Shinde’s involvement. This arrest follows Srivastava’s judicial remand after the end of his police custody. Srivastava is accused of large-scale fraud during the Congress government’s time. Investigations indicate that Srivastava disclosed information about transactions and properties worth 300 crore rupees. During questioning, Srivastava claimed that Shinde aided in his escape, including providing transportation. It’s alleged that Shinde also took money from some individuals under the guise of arranging travel tickets. Srivastava has confessed to using mule bank accounts to defraud people across the country of crores of rupees. He also stated that he delivered cash to numerous high-profile politicians, though the police are still seeking supporting documentation for these claims.
