The EOW's 12-page FIR, annexed with an Enforcement Directorate investigation report, accessed exclusively by The Free Press Journal, alleges that funds were sent to Baghel as 'protection money' to turn a blind eye to illicit betting activities conducted by Mahadev Online Book.

Furthermore, the ED has accused Baghel's associates, including his officer on special duty (OSD), Vinod Verma, of receiving proceeds from illegal betting activities.
