” In a statement recorded on December 12, 2023 at Central Jail, Raipur Das said that …he retracted from his statement dated 03.11.2023 under the influence of someone who arrived with his (Asim Das’s) advocate.This person gave him a pre-typed document and asked him to reproduce it in his handwriting.He didn’t know to whom the retraction was forwarded to and signed it, believing it would be beneficial to his case.
The statement given by him on 03.11.2023 is true and correct,” the ED’s supplementary chargesheet reviewed by ET reads.
In a statement dated November 3, Das had allegedly told ED on October 25, he was called to Dubai by another co-accused Subham Soni, an alleged promoter of Mahadev Book.Here he was told that he would be provided with cash which was to be delivered to Bagel.
On November 2, he was asked to wait at a hotel where a person delivered five bags of cash.The ED, which was keeping a watch on Das, raided him and seized the cash.
The ED claims that examination of the email sent by accused Shubam Soni revealed that so far Rs 508 crore was allegedly paid to Baghel.
Another accused,assistant sub inspector with the local police, Chandrabhushan Verma had claimed that he was “pressurized by the then state government to file a retraction and save Vinod Verma and others.Verman was the political advisor of ex-CM Bagel.
