Big news from Tamil Nadu: the Enforcement Directorate (ED) just raided 18 places, including Chennai, Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli, and Madurai, digging into a teacher recruitment scam from 2017.

Chennai CCB alleges 196 marks tampered
Back in 2017, Chennai's Central Crime Branch found that marks were allegedly tampered with for 196 candidates, allegedly in exchange for cash.
After a charge sheet was filed in 2021, the ED is now tracking down how much money changed hands and who got involved.
They're looking through seized documents and digital records.
