Chhattisgarh’s prominent IAS officer, Ranu Sahu, has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an alleged coal scam. This comes after a nearly 24-hour-long investigation and a raid at her official residence in Devendra Nagar. Ranu Sahu’s involvement in illegal coal recovery is under suspicion, leading to her arrest and subsequent presentation in Raipur’s special court.
Ranu Sahu is the second IAS officer from Chhattisgarh to be apprehended by the ED. Previously, Sameer Vishnoi faced a similar fate and remains in jail. The ED has conducted multiple raids, including at Sahu’s Raigarh bungalow and other locations while she served as Raigarh collector. Even her husband, JP Maurya, also an IAS officer, has been interrogated by the ED.
Ranu Sahu’s journey to the IAS was an inspiring one, hailing from a humble family in Gariaband district. Her recent arrest has caused debates about the influence of social media on cross-border relationships and the complexities of balancing personal desires and family responsibilities.
The investigation has uncovered alleged irregularities worth crores of rupees, adding to the seriousness of the case. As Ranu Sahu’s fate hangs in the balance, her actions continue to unravel and the ramifications of the coal scam case unfold.
