Saumya Chaurasia is an Indian civil servant from Chhattisgarh who has served in the Chhattisgarh Administrative Service (CAS) in a range of administrative,

Early life and background
Saumya Chaurasia was born on 6 October 1979 in Korba, Chhattisgarh, and grew up in Bhilai. Raised in a middle-class family, she is the daughter of Shanti Devi Chaurasia; her father, a school teacher, passed away in 2019. Saumya has two sisters and a brother, and she is married to Sourabh Modi, a former employee of Bharat Aluminium Company Ltd. The couple have two children and have lived in Bhilai.

Career
Saumya Chaurasia joined the Chhattisgarh Administrative Service (CAS) as part of the 2008 batch. Over her career she held a sequence of district and municipal roles across the state. She served as Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) in Pendra and Bilaspur, and at different times was posted as SDM in Bhilai and Patan. In 2016 she became the first commissioner of the Bhilai Charoda Municipal Corporation and also served as Additional Commissioner in the Raipur Municipal Corporation the same year.

Her administrative trajectory continued with an appointment in 2018 as Deputy Secretary to the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Bhupesh Baghel. That position placed her within the state’s executive office and marked a high point in her public service career.

Public profile
Physically, Saumya Chaurasia is described as approximately 161 cm tall with black hair and black eyes. She is commonly referred to by alternate spellings of her name in public records and media reports.

Saumya’s name became prominent beyond routine administrative duties following actions by India’s tax and enforcement agencies. In February 2020 her Bhilai residence was searched by the Income Tax department; media coverage records that nothing was recovered at that time and political leaders described the raid as unconstitutional and politically motivated.

In July 2022 another Income Tax search of her house in Bhilai resulted, and authorities reported recovery of cash and jewellery that media sources described as having a substantial reported value. Subsequently, on 2 December 2022 the Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained Saumya in connection with a money laundering investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED’s case, as reported, alleged links between Saumya and a coal trader and described accusations relating to illegal levies on coal transport. Public reactions included statements from the state’s chief minister, who characterized the arrest as political and said his office would contest it.

Personal life
Saumya’s hometown is Korba and she has maintained residence in Bhilai. Public records list her address as A-21, Surya Residency, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. Her family includes her husband Sourabh Modi, her mother Shanti Devi Chaurasia, a mother-in-law named Asha Mani Modi, and three siblings; her brother is reported to work for a multinational company in Bangalore.

Latest updates
As of the latest publicly available reports in 2022, Saumya Chaurasia was under investigation by central agencies and had been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in December of that year. Statements from political leaders and reports of earlier tax searches remained part of the public record surrounding her case.

Saumya’s career in the Chhattisgarh Administrative Service, including roles at municipal and state levels, and the subsequent legal developments have made her a high-profile figure in the state’s recent administrative and political landscape.
