The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has expressed apprehension that attempts were on to prevent the Central agency from conducting investigation into high-profile corruption cases registered in Tamil Nadu.
Replying to a notice issued by the Madurai police requiring appearance of the ED’s Assistant Director, Sub-Zonal Office, Madurai, for an inquiry, the agency said the notice was received after the appointed time on December 26, 2023, and had no sign or seal of the issuing authority.
Moreover, copies of letters cited as references in the notice were not enclosed. The abrupt and sudden notice without informing the subject matter, created unnecessary impediment in the smooth functioning of the office.
