To whom do the chiefs of ED and cbi report directly?
In the last few years, ED or Enforcement Directorate has been in the news a lot in the country. ED does all the investigations related to scams or money laundering, whereas if there is a case like murder, rape, corruption and fraud, then it is investigated by the CBI. Whenever the cbi feels that a public servant can run away or tamper with the evidence, then the cbi can arrest him. On the other hand, ED works to investigate financial crimes or confiscate property acquired illegally. Let us know to whom the officers of cbi and ED report.
