  "account": "The Madhya Pradesh government recently relieved Deepam Raichura of his additional role as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Deputy Chief Minister Jagdish Devda, following allegations that Rs 1 crore was paid to secure two liquor-shop contracts in Bhopal. The claims were made in a purported statement attributed to Mohit Gogia, a businessman facing multiple property-fraud charges under investigation by Delhi Police. However, these allegations have not been independently verified. Devda confirmed that he had initiated an inquiry after learning of the allegations and stated that Raichura was not working as his OSD during the relevant period, as he was then serving as Assistant Excise Commissioner in Bhopal. Raichura has denied the allegations, calling them \"false and fabricated.\"",
