The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has apprehended Shashank Chopda, a partner at M/s Mokshit Corporation, in connection with a significant money laundering investigation related to alleged irregularities in the procurement of medical supplies by the Chhattisgarh Medical Services Corporation Limited (CGMSCL) and the Directorate of Health Services (DHS). Chopda was taken into custody on January 14, 2026, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, as per an official statement from the ED’s Raipur Zonal Office.
He was produced before the Special Court in Raipur on January 15, 2026, where the ED was granted four days of custody until January 19, 2026, for further questioning. The probe originated from a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Raipur, against officials from CGMSCL, DHS, and private entities, including Mokshit Corporation.
Allegations suggest that Chopda, in collaboration with state officials, manipulated tender processes, falsified demands, and provided medical supplies at inflated prices to CGMSCL, resulting in financial losses for the state and illicit gains for the accused. The investigation revealed that proceeds of crime were generated through the supply of medical equipment at excessive rates.
Incriminating documents and digital devices recovered during previous operations exposed the diversion and concealment of illicit proceeds. The case is part of a larger alleged scam involving over-invoicing of medical items, with assets worth more than Rs 43 crore already attached or frozen by the ED. Ongoing investigations aim to track the complete money trail and uncover further financial irregularities.
