ED has claimed the two bureaucrats in the then Baghel-led Congress govt were tampering with evidence to dilute the case against them. Though ED’s August 1 affidavit does not name the judge in question, annexures containing WhatsApp chat details show he was Justice Arvind Kumar Chandel, with ED stating he was approached through his brother and former state chief secretary Ajay Singh. Chandel was transferred to Patna HC this year.
