Breaking news out of Tamil Nadu! On Friday, the police caught Enforcement Directorate (ED) Officer Ankit Tiwari red-handed while allegedly demanding and receiving a bribe of around Rs 20 lakh from a private person in the city of Dindigul. Reports are also circulating of a purported ID card of the ED officer going viral on social media.
The Tamil Nadu police's investigation into the matter is ongoing. This news comes at a time when the ED has been highly active in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, particularly in the case of minister Senthil Balaji.
The ED had arrested Senthil Balaji in June this year on charges of money laundering. This sparked a major row between the state government and the Governor over the decision to dismiss the minister. The DMK had alleged that the ED case against Senthil Balaji was politically motivated.
On November 28th, the court rejected Senthil Balaji's bail plea on health grounds and he has been remanded in judicial custody until June 28. The #TamilNadu Directorate of Vigilance & Anti-Corruption Madurai branch is now investigating to see if the ED officer, Ankit Tiwari, is an imposter or not.
The Tamil Nadu police have been diligently working to ensure justice is done. We hope they are able to come to a satisfactory conclusion in the case of ED Officer Ankit Tiwari, as well as the other ongoing cases in the state.
