The Enforcement Directorate has granted a one‑week extension to investigate IAS officer Anand Kishore in a tender scam case, extending the probe period by seven days.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Tuesday that it has granted a fresh week‑long extension to the investigation of IAS officer Anand Kishore in a tender scam probe.
The extension allows the ED to continue probing allegations that the officer was involved in irregularities in the awarding of government tenders. The original investigation period was set to conclude on a specific date, but the ED cited the need for additional time to gather evidence.
The decision comes as part of a broader crackdown on corruption in public procurement. The ED has previously extended investigations in similar cases to ensure thorough scrutiny.
Anand Kishore has not yet issued a statement regarding the extension. The ED has indicated that the probe will resume on the new deadline, and further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
