A running political feud between two prominent leaders in the ruling regime has recently escalated, engulfing the Mumbai Crime Branch and the central Enforcement Directorate. The Enforcement Directorate is already under fire from the national opposition for allegedly being used as a political tool to target opponents. Now, things have come to a head with the Mumbai Crime Branch registering a case against an unidentified ED person, and arresting seven others believed to have close ties with this person. They are accused of allegedly extorting money from multiple builders and businessmen.
