Balamurugan's petition to the President has come when the ED has issued summons to two Dalit farmers in Tamil Nadu and these peasants had a legal friction with a local BJP leader.
The arrested officer has been identified as Ankit Tiwari and he was arrested on the Dindigul - Madurai highway in Tamil Nadu after the officials seized Rs 20 lakh from his car.
ED has been under scrutiny for several months for being a lapdog of the Modi regime in targeting the opposition leaders and the dissenters of the government.
Sibal's remarks have sparked a debate whether ED is threatening Senthil Balaji to surrender and join BJP as he has been one of the important leaders of the DMK.
