ED files case, carries out searches in 2017 Tamil Nadu polytechnic teacher hiring 'fraud'

The Enforcement Directorate has launched a money laundering investigation into a 2017 Tamil Nadu government teacher recruitment scam. Searches were conducted after allegations of OMR sheet tampering, where scanned marks were digitally altered. The ED claims a network of agents and middlemen collected substantial cash from candidates, which was then laundered through shell firms and converted into assets. Significant cash and frozen accounts are part of the ongoing probe.
