"Corruption Scandal Rocks Enforcement Directorate in Tamil Nadu"
An ED official, Ankit Tiwari, has been arrested in Tamil Nadu for allegedly taking bribes from a government doctor. Tiwari claimed that he had been instructed by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to conduct an inquiry and that the cash was for his superiors. The conversations between Tiwari and the doctor were recorded, and Tiwari had initially demanded Rs 3 crore but settled for Rs 51 lakh. The arrest led to searches at the ED's Madurai office by the state vigilance, which has accused Tiwari of using corruption cases to extort money.
