On Monday, December 29, 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched raids on at least nine premises in Chhattisgarh. The locations included sites in Raipur, the state capital, and Mahasamund. Officials said the raids are part of a probe into irregularities in land acquisition compensation payments. This case focuses on the Raipur-Vishakhapatnam economic corridor, a key part of the Bharatmala Project. The ED is targeting offices and homes linked to Harmit Singh Khanuja, his alleged associates, government officials, and some landowners. The Bharatmala Pariyojana aims to develop about 26,000 km of economic corridors across India. Along with the Golden Quadrilateral and North-South and East-West Corridors, these will carry most of the country's road freight traffic.
