Tamil Nadu CM Stalin Faces Alleged Job Scam – ED Report Creates Buzz
A new report from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has stirred political discussions in Tamil Nadu. The ED has reportedly sent a report to the state DGP (Director General of Police), linking Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s circle to a major job recruitment scam.
What the Report Says
According to the report, bribes of ₹35 lakh per job were allegedly collected for municipal-level government posts. Thousands of job seekers applied, and among them, several candidates were allegedly asked to pay money in return for government positions.
The ED has traced bank transactions showing how money moved from the candidates’ accounts to those connected with Stalin’s associates, according to the report.
Why It Was Sent to the DGP
Usually, ED directly investigates such corruption cases. But this time, the agency reportedly sent the report to the DGP because recent court decisions in Tamil Nadu have limited the power of central agencies like the CBI and ED to probe state-related corruption cases.
Some courts have even questioned, “Why are central agencies investigating state corruption cases?” — which has created legal confusion. As a result, the ED decided to hand over the details to the state police.
What Happens Next
If the Tamil Nadu police don’t act on this report, any citizen can approach the court, asking why no action was taken. Then, the court itself may order an official investigation by CBI or ED.
The Bigger Picture
This issue also raises concerns about how courts and governments interact today. Many observers feel courts are becoming more powerful than elected leaders, and media outlets are hesitant to question judges or highlight such issues.
In Summary
The ED’s report on Stalin’s alleged job scam has opened a new chapter in Tamil Nadu’s political and legal tug-of-war.
The next few weeks will reveal whether this case is seriously investigated or politically silenced.
Many citizens in Tamil Nadu have expressed concern about the growing influence of corruption in recruitment. Experts say such scams not only damage public trust but also demotivate honest candidates. The ED’s move to involve the DGP indicates that central agencies are still cautious about court limitations.
If the state police fail to act, the issue might reach higher courts or even spark protests. Observers believe this could become a turning point in Tamil Nadu politics, especially if evidence surfaces publicly.
