Assets about 426% above known income, EOW says

According to the EOW's preliminary investigation, Baghel allegedly accumulated assets and incurred expenditure worth ₹92.16 lakh between January 2007 and September 2025, against known legitimate income of ₹17.51 lakh — an estimated excess of about 426 per cent. The disproportionate-assets case has been registered as FIR No. 110/2026.

Second case over urea distribution

Separately, FIR No. 111/2026 has been registered over alleged irregularities in urea distribution. The manager is accused of charging farmers ₹600 per quintal against the prescribed rate of ₹593, and of making suspicious entries involving 122 farmers — entries the Free Press Journal described as fake farmer records in the fertiliser distribution registers.
