The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on December 3 petitioned Tamil Nadu Director General of Police (DGP) Shankar Jiwal, accusing the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) of conducting an “illegal search operation” by barging into its Madurai Zonal Office on December 1, 2023, and “stealing sensitive case documents”.
The searches were carried out following the arrest of Enforcement Officer Ankit Tiwari on charges of demanding and accepting bribe from a government doctor, who is facing a disproportionate assets case.
