Chapter 500 Core Power
"Yes, they are still deputy directors now..."
Everyone present said this.
The law enforcement agency's actions have made everyone very angry.
Of course there is also fear and anxiety.
They can catch three people this time, but maybe they will catch them next time.
Once caught, the end will be miserable.
When Rawdon spoke up, they felt they had to fight back.
Now they are just cooperating with the investigation. The three of them still have their positions, so how can we let them do whatever they want?
This is a common hatred of the enemy.
The face of the head of the Enforcement Bureau changed. After hearing what Rawdon said, he hurriedly explained: "Sir Mahesh, don't worry, we will definitely follow the procedures, and the three officers will definitely be taken care of."
Roton still has a deterrent effect in the Law Enforcement Bureau, and even Director Bowede has given special instructions about it.
On the side of the Mabang Police Headquarters, what they need to pay attention to is Rodon. Of course, Shiva, the director of the headquarters, is also one of them. In comparison, Rodon's attitude is more important.
Chief Powede has said that even if there is a conflict with Shiva, it doesn’t matter.
If they came into conflict with Rotten, they had to back off, not escalate the situation, and report to him immediately.
"Okay, I don't want this to be photographed by reporters and the media," said Rawdon.
These words stunned the head of the law enforcement bureau.
In fact, he had already contacted the news media with the purpose of filming the arrest of the three people.
This is a great achievement of their law enforcement bureau.
Three high-ranking police officers were arrested in a major economic state like Mabang. The arrest footage is so precious.
“Mahesh sir, this?”
"What? They still have their positions now. Unless you dismiss them now, you can't do anything rash." Roton said coldly.
The head of the law enforcement bureau sighed secretly.
Removal from office is not that quick.
Normally, for things like this, it's said to be cooperating with the investigation. In fact, everyone knows what's going on, and it just means they've been arrested.
So in the past they would just arrest people directly, and then reporters outside would have various license plates and so on to get first-hand news.
What Luoton proposed now is actually in line with the rules and procedures.
The three of them are just cooperating with the investigation now and cannot be treated as criminals.
"Yes, Sir Mahesh, don't worry, we won't attract the attention of outsiders when we go out." The head of the Enforcement Bureau said hurriedly.
Thinking about what his chief had told him, how could he dare to say anything now that Luoton had spoken? To be honest, he was still worried before that Luoton would come out to interfere, which would make him very worried.
Fortunately, this did not happen. Roton just put forward such a condition.
Although he was unable to get the media to report his arrest, which made him look less heroic, at least he had managed to catch the man without causing any trouble.
I believe the director will definitely praise me.
No matter what, I have made a contribution after all, and everything else can be put aside.
This time I came here to arrest people, which must have made Roton and the others very unhappy.
If I insist, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.
Shiva was able to hand over the person without any resistance, which was already a victory for his side.
Roton's words were obviously meant to save some face for the Mabon police, and this face should be given.
Of course, this is also because it is Roton. If it were anyone else, he would not give him face.
The three were taken away by the law enforcement bureau, and everyone present had an ugly look on their faces.
Shiva, the director general, was in an even worse mood.
It would be fine if you said that the Central Bureau of Investigation came to arrest people. After all, it has been like this before, and we are all in the same system, so maybe we can communicate with each other on some things.
What is this called now?
People from the law enforcement agency came to arrest people.
That's the Ministry of Finance's system.
There is basically nothing good for the people on our side who go in.
Thanks to Rawdon's intimidation, the Enforcement Agency conducted the arrest quietly.
The reporters and media that had been arranged previously did not dare to report the arrest at the request of the head of the law enforcement bureau.
Of course, that means I won’t report it now.
After these people have been interrogated, subsequent reports can still be made.
That was enough for Rawdon.
At least the face of the Mabang Police Headquarters was saved.
A lot of shocking news soon broke out in the news.
Senior police chiefs from several other states were arrested by the Enforcement Directorate.
These all show scenes of arrests. Those senior policemen who used to look so majestic on TV appear to be in a state of disgrace after being arrested.
The arrests took place at the police headquarters of each state, and the highest-ranking person arrested was actually the director of the headquarters.
The scope of this case is not small, and senior police officers are involved, so it has attracted huge attention in the news.
Of course, Mabang is one of the few states where the footage was not exposed.
The Law Enforcement Bureau quickly issued a notice to the outside world, stating that the senior police officers arrested this time were mainly involved in some economic issues.
Whenever there are economic issues involved, the law enforcement agency has the power to ask them to cooperate in the investigation.
Everyone is actually clear about the so-called investigation.
These senior police officers who were taken away by the Law Enforcement Bureau basically will not have a good ending.
Since people have no good feelings towards these police officers, they are very willing to see this scene.
To the public, these policemen are definitely not good people, and they deserve to be arrested now.
Even though the law enforcement agency isn't a good group, at least they arrested some people, and the public still supports them.
It's best if dog bites dog, and in the end all the dogs die together.
This is what the people think.
Roton didn't expect that the Enforcement Agency's operation this time would involve such a large scope, almost involving the police departments of all states in India.
Nirmala wants to clean out some of the colluders within the government before taking action against foreign companies.
Of course, a large part of these cleanups are actually political factors.
Many of these arrested senior police officials may have close ties with the opposition, including the Congress Party.
The Enforcement Directorate arrested these people on the pretext of economic issues, which was actually an attempt to suppress the Congress Party and weaken their influence in the government civil service system.
The police is a violent agency that normally possesses great power.
In this way, even if there are some police officers who usually have good relations with the Congress Party, they will probably become fearful and will no longer have close contacts with the Congress Party.
The People's Party's move is to make itself more powerful.
The Law Enforcement Bureau is considered powerful, but some people are not happy about it.
The Central Bureau of Investigation was very angry and began to criticize the Enforcement Bureau's action in newspapers, accusing the Enforcement Bureau of violating the Central Bureau of Investigation's powers.
It is the duty of the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate these government officials and the Enforcement Directorate has overstepped its bounds.
The Enforcement Directorate quickly responded to the Central Bureau of Investigation's allegations.
They said that these people were involved in economic crimes, so there was no problem with the Enforcement Agency getting involved in the investigation.
This quarrel won't end so quickly.
However, since the Enforcement Directorate received various support, the Central Bureau of Investigation was completely at a disadvantage.
Besides, what the law enforcement agency said is not wrong.
These people are indeed involved in economic crimes, and the law enforcement bureau's arrest and investigation is one of the bureau's powers.
"Brother, just be patient." Roton received a call from Vides.
During the call, Wides naturally mentioned the arrest.
Vides was almost furious.
This is a power that only their Central Bureau of Investigation has, and it is also the most awe-inspiring power.
Because the CBI can investigate and arrest these government officials, this is what makes the CBI the most intimidating.
But now, the Law Enforcement Bureau has intervened in this area, which means that the Central Dispatch Bureau's biggest pie has been touched.
If they want to arrest someone, they just need to accuse them of economic crimes and other issues, and then they can arrest people for various reasons.
Among the officials of the Indian government, which one does not have some financial problems?
Therefore, the Enforcement Bureau can completely replace the Central Bureau of Investigation by relying on this universal excuse.
There is no one that the law enforcement agencies would not arrest if they wanted to.
Who dares to say that he doesn’t have any financial problems?
Even Rawdon, the most honest policeman, couldn't stand the investigation.
If the Enforcement Bureau can catch anything, then what is the use of the Central Bureau of Investigation?
"Brother, how can we tolerate this?" Vides said angrily. "If we continue to tolerate this, I think the Central Bureau of Investigation will no longer be necessary. If they do everything, the Central Bureau of Investigation might as well be disbanded right now."
Things like disbanding were of course just angry words from Vides.
However, Roton could still understand Vides' feelings.
This time, the Enforcement Bureau's large-scale arrest of senior police officers did stimulate Vides and the senior officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation.
This time is different from before.
In the past, the Enforcement Bureau was in competition with the Central Bureau of Investigation in various ways. For example, if the Central Bureau of Investigation handled a case, the Enforcement Bureau would also try its best to handle a similar case.
But now it’s different. The Enforcement Bureau has directly attacked the original core power part of the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is the source of the Central Bureau of Investigation’s power.
If we just give up, the power of the Central Bureau of Investigation will no longer exist.
Vides would definitely not agree to this, and most people in the Central Bureau of Investigation would not be able to accept it.
Speaking of which, Roton was not that upset about these things.
In his view, this was a normal power struggle between departments.
Roton thought about it and concluded that it was probably because he was mainly with the police and he did not have such a strong sense of belonging to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
After all, Rawdon was a part-timer in the Central Bureau of Investigation, and especially now, after coming to Mumbai, he basically no longer exercised the powers of the Special Investigation Commissioner.
In short, Rawdon didn't have deep enough feelings for the CBI.
This is completely different from Vides and the others.
Vides and his colleagues have spent most of their lives in the Central Bureau of Investigation, and they can still vividly remember their glorious past.
It has only been a few years, and the power of the Central Bureau of Investigation has been suppressed like this. How can old people like Vides accept this?
"It's hard to bear, but the Enforcement Bureau dared to do this, which obviously means they have the support from above." Roton said, "If the matter really gets out of hand, the Central Bureau of Investigation will suffer."
"Even if we suffer a loss, we can't just let it go." Vides said in a deep voice, "We have to let them know that the Central Bureau of Investigation is not so easy to bully."
The anger in Vides' heart could no longer be suppressed.
He had actually been very accommodating before.
He basically endured all the provocations from the law enforcement agency.
Many times, the CBI suffered losses and its subordinates had many grievances, which were all forcibly suppressed by Vides.
Because he didn't want to confront the powerful law enforcement agency, he knew it would do him no good.
Some losses have to be taken, after all, the situation is different now.
However, as these incidents became more and more frequent, there was actually a lot of dissatisfaction among the CBI, not only with the aggressive stance of the Enforcement Bureau, but also with Vides's compromising attitude.
Many people think that Director Vides is too weak and servile to others, which has led to the Law Enforcement Bureau's continuous encroachment.
It can be said that Vides has been under tremendous pressure.
The pressure comes from external law enforcement agencies and internal pressure from the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Vides knew very well that if he did not act tough, the internal cohesion would be lost and his prestige as the director would be greatly damaged.
For the sake of the CBI and his own power, Vides had to take action.
Rotten soon figured out the connection.
According to his thinking, it would be better for Vides to keep a low profile.
But many times, you can’t do what you want.
Various pressures make it difficult for Vides to have more options.
Perhaps it is because I am not in Vides' position. Only if I were in that position could I feel the helplessness.
Roton believed that Widdes was aware of the power of the current Enforcement Bureau.
They received strong support from the old immortal, which was almost naked and undisguised.
In some public occasions and speeches, Laoxian generously praised the Law Enforcement Bureau and supported them. This is the Law Enforcement Bureau's greatest confidence.
Because the Enforcement Agency can do anything for the BJP, including various attacks on political opponents, etc., almost as soon as the BJP says a word, Bovede will pounce on them like a mad dog.
For Laoxian and his friends, this is the institution they want.
The Central Bureau of Investigation cannot do all this.
In fact, the Law Enforcement Bureau must remain independent. This is their responsibility as a government department. They must ensure neutrality and not favor any particular party.
Even the ruling party and all law enforcement agencies must ensure fairness and neutrality.
Unfortunately, nowadays, there is only one dominant player. Also, the Enforcement Bureau was once suppressed by the Central Bureau of Investigation, but now it has turned the tables and is enjoying this feeling.
Bowede knew very well where his power came from.
That is what the BJP gave him, so in return, that is to act as their pawn.
No matter what happened, Bowede tried his best to please the old immortal.
Bovede knew very well that as long as Nirmala and the old immortal were happy and as long as they recognized him, all other objections would not be a problem.
In this situation now, I wonder how many people are afraid of me.
If these people are afraid of him, then they must flatter him and give him benefits? Many people called him a dog of the People's Party.
But what's wrong with being a dog?
Those guys who usually look so glamorous and bright are secretly giving me gifts and trying to please me in various ways.
If I am a dog, then those guys are even worse than dogs? In short, Bowede actually enjoys his current power.
As long as he has the support of Laoxian, he will have the power to suppress the Central Bureau of Investigation and possess the power that makes people fear him. What could be a better feeling than this?
The rest doesn't matter at all. He doesn't care what those guys think of him.
