Ever since the Electoral Bond story has exposed the role of law enforcement agencies in targeting corporates and forcing them to invest in EBs I’ve been wondering is there a parallel anywhere in the world

Then it came to my mind that a parallel extortion business is also in the news. The gangsters sitting abroad threatening rich people to pay. Some also operate from Indian jails. And some of these gangsters sitting abroad, are at times branded terrorists.. But they gave an idea to emulate.

I think the business of extortion has been learnt by our law enforcement agencies from these gangsters. ED played biggest role in this extortion. No wonder the previous Director ED was given many extensions. Probably because this was his brainchild. So ED gave an official platform to the EBs. You can call EB Electoral Bonds or Extortion Bonds and wow, ED too has an E as the first letter in it’s name. Now you can call this E whatever you want.
