Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 160 Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)

Luo Dun thought about it and agreed.

Yunando was promoted by Fia.

When Fia was at the TV station, Yunando certainly lived well there.

But this time, Fia's behavior made the TV station's top management very angry. Fia resigned, but some employees who had previously leaned on Fia would definitely be affected.

Especially for someone like Younando who has no background and is Fia's confidant, it is normal for him to be liquidated in the future.

So Younando just resigned and continued to follow Fia.

Of course, Fia recognized Yunando and believed that his abilities were absolutely outstanding.

One person can replace a small team, which is very important for her to start her career.

Feiya smiled and said, "Actually, all the employees here came from All India Television..."

Rawdon understood.

However, with Fia's introduction, Roton learned that the others were informal employees of the TV station.

Younando is the only official employee.

Each of these informal employees has outstanding abilities. It can be said that when they were at All India Television, their business capabilities were extremely outstanding, and basically one of them could do the work of several formal employees.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any background or connections, so it has always been informal.

Some of them did not say that they would be affected by Fia, but they felt that they would have a better future by following Fia.

After all, it is basically impossible for them to become formal employees at All India Television.

So why not jump out and give it a try?

Fiya is now a big name in the news industry. Even if she is not so good, given Fiya's background and connections, it can't be better than the All India Television who has never been able to get a promotion, right?
It is a bit difficult at the beginning, but they are full of hope.

Fia invited Roton to walk to a small room in the house. It was separated and was about ten square meters in size. Judging from the furnishings inside, it was probably used as a room for business negotiations.

"Fia, why don't you hire more people?" Roden asked. "And isn't this office too small?"

Hearing what Roden said, Feiya couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You think I don't want to, I don't have money."

"No money?" This made Luoton stunned.

Roton thought of various possibilities, but he never thought that Fia would be short of money.

This is a noble lady of high Brahmin caste from a wealthy family in Delhi.

When you said she had no money, Luoton didn't quite believe it.

"Don't look at me like that," Fia sighed. "My family won't give me any money and has frozen a lot of my funds. They don't support me in starting this company. All this money now is my own pocket money, not much, so I have to spend it sparingly. Those old guys are really abominable. They don't even allow other relatives and friends to support me."

Rawdon understood what was going on.

It was obvious that Fia's family felt the pressure, and even high-ranking government officials had given them a heads-up.

So they didn't want Fia to continue to be active in this public opinion field, so as not to cause greater trouble.

So they cut off Fia's funding. Without funds, even if Fia wanted to make some moves, the scale would not be too big and it would not cause much trouble.

"That won't work," Rawdon said. "Without funding, it's hard for your company to grow significantly."

"Actually, someone contacted me and said they wanted to invest in me," Fia said, "but I turned it down. I'm well aware that they have connections with political parties and their intentions are clear to me."

Roton knew what Fia was thinking. If she accepted the funds, she would be influenced by these forces and it would be difficult for her to report the news according to her own ideas.

"I know some friends who might be able to invest a little," Roton said after a moment of contemplation. "Don't worry, they won't make any comments about your business, and they're not politicians."

"Really?" Feiya stared at Luoton as if she wanted to say something, but she finally smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Regarding the people behind the funds, Fia is still very cautious.

She didn't want to be associated with political parties or anything like that, as that would make her company lose its independence, which was not her original intention in starting the company.

"I want to make it clear in advance that you must not interfere with my company's operations, especially news reporting," Fia added.

"Don't worry, everything will be as you wish." Luo Dun said with a smile, "If they make any excessive demands, you can just refuse them directly."

"That's right." Feiya smiled. "At worst, I can just start a small company like this. I believe I can make my own voice heard."

"No," Rotten said. "You're a heroine in the news industry. You must defend press freedom and fairness. Only by expanding your company can more people see your news, give more voices to the vulnerable, and deter those scum from acting recklessly."

This is what Roton really thinks.

Media companies must be big to have influence.

Otherwise, even if Fia is a heroine in the news industry, her company is too small. For example, the circulation of her newspaper is very small now, so she still doesn't have much influence.

After all, things like heroines will fade away with the passage of time.

Your true strength is the key.

Therefore, there must be a certain amount of start-up capital to support the rapid development of the Truth News Company in the initial stage.

Whether it is to grow on your own or through some acquisitions and mergers of similar companies, that is all possible.

In this way, the status of Truth News Company in the news industry can be effectively and quickly improved.

After laying the foundation, with Fia's reputation, the truth news can continue to increase its popularity and grow.

Until it became India's top news media company.

Roton even thought that Fia's Truth News Company would eventually become a major public opinion platform that could influence the direction of some Indian national policies.

Of course, this is very difficult and is only intended to be a goal to be achieved in the future.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it, just move in this direction.

So Rotun is still very much looking forward to Fia. However, being just a heroine in the news industry is not enough to satisfy Rotun. Rotun thinks Fia can become the queen of the Indian news industry in the future.

It was a bit exaggerated, but Roton still had some confidence in his heart.

He knew the direction of history in the coming years and believed that under his guidance, Fia would be able to seize countless opportunities.

By then, it will definitely develop very rapidly.

As for the queen, Roton couldn't say for sure.

There is no doubt that Kofia will become one of the most influential figures in the Indian journalism world in the future.

"After hearing what you said, I feel that I have a great responsibility."

“Everyone has their own responsibilities.”

"That's quite philosophical," Fia said with a smile. "But what I need now is news, big news that can have a big impact. Director, do you have any news recently?"

Now that she no longer has the big platform of All India Television, she has to rely on herself to find news, and the difficulty has suddenly increased countless times.

Given the company's current situation, it's difficult to compete with those large new media companies. "Big news?" Luo Dun said speechlessly, "How can there be so much big news?"

"Oh~~" Fia sighed.

She just asked this question. Of course, it was impossible that there were so many big news and they were all focused on Rotten?

Even more impossible.

Sensing some of Fia's low mood, Roton thought, "Maybe there is one."

"Really?" Fia's eyes lit up when she heard Roden's words. "Is it big news?"

"Yes, big news. I was actually hesitating whether to tell you." said Rotten.

"What's wrong with saying it?" Fia asked.

"Because once this news gets out, you'll offend someone again," Rawdon sighed, "and that party is a very powerful force. The Ashok incident has already offended you and forced you to resign, leading to the current situation. Am I worried?"

Before Rotun could finish his words, Fia raised her hand and interrupted him, "Rotun, I consider you my friend, so you should know what kind of person I am. No matter what the news is, as long as it's true, no matter who it involves or what forces it affects, I will report it. The facts about Ashok Chafan are clear. He is a shameless corrupt official and should be punished by law. This is the starting point for me to establish the True News Company, to fight for the truth. We must not allow those scum to deceive everyone with lies and confuse the public with false news."

The matter of Ashok is still fermenting.

Thanks to the temporary protection of the Congress Party, it is still in the battlefield of public opinion between the ruling party and the opposition party on television and newspapers.

The police haven't taken any action yet.

Opposition parties, led by the BJP, have proposed that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) be involved in investigating the matter.

The Central Bureau of Investigation is under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Its management mainly consists of IPS from the police system, as well as a small number of senior retired military officers. Its main responsibilities are to solve major criminal cases, corruption, bribery, financial fraud, etc.

Major cases in the states and the Centre are often taken over by the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is not restricted by the states and can conduct investigations and arrests across the country.

The Indian police system still has its limitations. Each state is relatively independent, and cross-state law enforcement is very difficult.

So the existence of the Central Bureau of Investigation solves this problem.

Speaking of which, the Central Bureau of Investigation is also considered a part of the police system, and the rank of the Director General of the Central Bureau of Investigation is the same as that of the Director General of Police in each state.

But in terms of power, the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation is naturally more powerful, and not just a little bit more powerful.

You should know that any corruption or criminal case involving high-level officials at the state or federal level, whether it is in the government system, the judicial system or the police system, is all within the purview of the Central Bureau of Investigation. There is nothing in the country that it cannot investigate.

It is generally difficult for the state police department to intervene in these high-level cases, and it is often the Central Bureau of Investigation that intervenes directly.

It can be said that the Central Bureau of Investigation can directly investigate important officials across the country, which is a bit like the Jinyiwei.

However, after Modi came to power, the good days of the Central Bureau of Investigation came to an end.

Because the old immortal had set up the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and given it enormous powers.

The Enforcement Agency is under the Federal Department of Finance.

The main responsibilities of the Law Enforcement Bureau are to enforce economic laws and combat economic crimes.

If the Central Bureau of Investigation is mainly criminal, then the Enforcement Directorate is economic.

For most of the time, the Central Bureau of Investigation has held the absolute dominant position, because corruption, bribery, financial fraud and the like are also related to economics, so the Central Bureau of Investigation can also intervene.

This puts the Enforcement Bureau in a somewhat awkward position.

A lot of their power has been taken away by the CBI.

After Modi came to power, he gave the Enforcement Bureau greater power. He was responsible for foreign exchange management, prevention of money laundering, etc., and handed over all these to the Enforcement Bureau, and greatly expanded the Enforcement Bureau's team.

In fact, this is a disguised suppression of the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the power to combat economic crimes is completely transferred to the Enforcement Bureau.

In return, the Enforcement Department became a gun in Modi's hands and the vanguard of the BJP in eliminating political enemies.

Since all these Indian politicians have problems, especially in the economic field, none of them is clean.

It is very easy for the law enforcement agency to arrest people. They don’t need any evidence at all. They just say they suspect you of money laundering.

Suspicion is enough, just take the person away directly, and then there is no need to worry about not getting evidence inside.

After all, these people are not clean.

Even if there is no evidence, they can still lock people up without having to explain to anyone. That’s how much power they have.

Modi used the Enforcement Department to crack down on his political opponents, causing many members of other opposition parties to defect and join the BJP or form an alliance with the BJP.

As long as they join the BJP or form an alliance, these politicians will no longer be investigated by the Enforcement Directorate.

So if you can't beat them, just join them.

If they are stubborn and unyielding, it's easy. Just arrest them and investigate them thoroughly.

Roton remembered his previous life before he traveled through time. A hot news had just happened in India. The Chief Minister of Delhi was arrested by the Enforcement Agency because of economic problems.

This is the first time that a sitting chief minister has been arrested since India's independence.

It’s not that chief ministers haven’t been arrested. In the past, those who were arrested were usually former chief ministers who had already left office.

Therefore, this arrest is still an important milestone in India, and it is of great significance for the incumbent chief minister.

Because he is not from the BJP, but a political enemy of Modi.

Before this election, the BJP must eliminate some dangerous political enemies.

The political party that can become the Chief Minister of Delhi naturally has considerable influence.

This guy is also awesome, he insists on working in a jail under guard, exercising the power of the chief minister and issuing orders to the outside world.

It is so strange in India that before the actual legal judgment, even if the chief minister is arrested, he is still the chief minister and can still exercise the power of the chief minister.

There are actually many such cases. For example, many members of parliament have been arrested and imprisoned before, but the legal verdict is still in progress and has not yet been made.

So when the federal parliament involves some major voting resolutions, these MPs who are in prison awaiting trial are asked to come back to vote.

Letting criminals vote on matters of national importance, does this mean handing the future of the country into the hands of criminals?
The other MPs who were not imprisoned are actually no different from those who were imprisoned. They are all the same.

It’s just that some unlucky guys were defeated, while some are still at large.

Of course, the current Central Bureau of Investigation is in its heyday and is what the Enforcement Bureau will look like in the future.

Anyway, if I suspect you, I can arrest you without any evidence.

An investigation at the Chief Minister's level can only be handled by the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the Maharashtra Police Department is not qualified.

Luo Dun smiled awkwardly and apologized, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted your professional ethics."

Fia is really such a person.

She knew that exposing Ashok would bring her into huge trouble, but she did it anyway.
