Enforcement Officer Arrested for Accepting Bribe in Dindigul Property Hoarding Case
An enforcement officer named Ankit Tiwari was recently arrested by Tamil Nadu anti-bribery police for accepting a bribe of lakhs to avoid taking action in a case of hoarding of property from a doctor in Dindigul. Tiwari’s bail plea was rejected by the court, and the Madurai Thallakulam police have issued a summons to the Assistant Director of Enforcement while the investigation is ongoing.
The incident took a dramatic turn when the anti-corruption bureau officials tried to raid the Madurai Enforcement Directorate office, and the enforcement officials resisted, causing a stir. The deployment of paramilitary forces for the security of the Enforcement Directorate office further added to the commotion.
The Madurai Thallakulam police have also registered a case against 15 enforcement officials for preventing Tamil Nadu Anti-Corruption Bureau officials from working, adding another layer to the ongoing investigation.
What’s particularly noteworthy is that Tiwari’s bail plea was denied based on allegations made by the Tamil Nadu Anti-Corruption Department that his personal laptop contained the names of 75 officials involved in corruption cases. This revelation has added another layer of complexity to the case and has raised serious questions about the extent of corruption within the Enforcement Directorate.
The developments in this case have undoubtedly shaken the law enforcement community and have prompted a closer look at the potential widespread corruption within the agency. As the investigation continues, more details are expected to emerge, shedding light on the extent of the scandal and the impact it has had on the local community.
