We spoke to him about whether powerful people really get away with anything in this country. And what’s it like to stand your ground when ministers pressure you to bend the rules?We also talk about ED’s powers, how ED raids actually happen, and whether the agency can summon a common citizen without notice. In the last segment, Mr. Singh opens up about the difference between a terrorist interrogation and an ED interrogation, what it feels like to know someone is guilty but let them go due to a lack of evidence, and the truth behind cases like Hasan Ali’s ₹48,000 crore Swiss bank saga. He talks about the toll the job takes, the demoralising comments made by politicians, and the reality of being an honest officer in a corrupt system.Subscribe for more such conversations.Follow Karnal Singh Here: X: https://x.com/singhkarnal2About Raj ShamaniRaj Shamani is an Entrepreneur at heart that explains his expertise in Business Content Creation & Public Speaking.
