ED HAS ACCUSED DVAC OF CRIMINAL TRESPASS, AND TAKING COPIES OF SENSITIVE DOCS THAT COULD JEOPARDISE INVESTIGATIONS
-
The Madurai city police have registered a case against Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials on a complaint by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) that officers from the federal agency prevented them from discharging their duties in the case where ED officer Ankit Tiwari has been booked on charges of bribery.
DVAC arrested Tiwari on December 1 for allegedly accepting a bribe of 20 lakh. Later in the day, they carried out a raid at ED's sub-zonal office in Madurai.
"Initially, they did not allow us to enter his (Tiwari's) room on the ground floor, so we had to take the help of local police with their cameraman and, eventually, they were allowed to search," a DVAC official said, declining to be named.
The Tallakulam police station in Madurai has issued a summons to Brijesh Beniwal, assistant director of the ED's Madurai office.
