completion vs. conviction rate
This statement is misleading. Conviction and completion are two different things. While it is true that the ED cases trial completion rate is less than 0.5%, the case completion rate under IPC is 10.5% as per NCRB's Crime in India 2022 data, and not 57%.

Distorted data about Conviction Rate
Distorted data is presented about the conviction rate of ED, juxtaposed with the conviction rate of IPC offenses, claiming the former to be 0.5% and the latter 57%, citing HT and NCRB. However, there's no mention of the so-called "conviction rate" or % in the given source, nor any mention of the accusations made by the opposition "based on that". In fact, conviction rate is calculated using the formula: $Cases Convicted⁄Cases in which Trials were Completed$ × $100$ (refer Definitions in 2nd source) and NOT by dividing it with the total "registered cases" which is ludicrous (imagine how many zeroes after decimal will be there if the same were applied to the crores of registered cases vs convicted cases under the IPC, as 90% of cases are pending trial in Indian courts). In reality, the conviction rate of ED is 93.54%, with 29 cases convicted out of 31 cases that completed trial (source). The Doom Patrol (talk) 17:57, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * See WP:OR. The figure was not shared by the opposition but the Union government. I have removed the wording sourced to NCRB link and expanded relevant content.  Ratnahastin  (talk) 17:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Union govt did not shared the figure 0.5%, WP:OR was exactly my point. You re-added the OR with misinformation (0.5%). Besides, do not remove the conviction rate, see "WP:NOTCENSORED". Remember? --The Doom Patrol (talk) 09:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Still I find that your explanation has almost nothing to do with your massive content removal. Will you address why you are edit warring over it?  Ratnahastin  (talk) 12:33, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, I had clearly explained my three edits in the edit summary, but you blatantly reverted without refuting each of them, which in turn reintroduced fake data and mere allegations, treating an encyclopedia as a newspaper and a mouthpiece of antigovernmental propaganda, violating WP:NPOV. So, it's your turn to explain why you did that. Last time I checked, you were edit warring without explanation on another page and came here by following my contributions, again for edit warring.--The Doom Patrol (talk) 16:24, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The definition of such conviction cannot be applied to PMLA, as PMLA is a non-bailable offence until proven otherwise in the court of law, effectively convicting the accused to jail. India Code: Section Details, and explanation clearly says ED has the right to immediate "conviction", unless contested in court, where upon public prosecutor will have chance to oppose such bail, and the court may determine whether the person is guilty or not.
 * However, while the edit seems reasonable, it would be prudent to also mention total number of cases brought by ED, and number of pending cases as well. 114.23.145.102 (talk) 22:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 * I have made the above change. it is important to put things in perspective. so both completion and conviction rate are to be mentioned for both PMLA and IPC cases. VIBHAATH GUDTROT (talk) 09:40, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Misconstrued sources and claims
The section claiming that the SC has limited ED's power to arrest is factually incorrect and misrepresents the sources. The HT source refers to a "specific case", where the court prevented ED from arresting "two individuals", not a general revocation of the ED's power to arrest. The other source reports a weak "argument" (NOT a judgement) presented by lawyer Kabil Sibal in a petition challenging the arrest of a minister, claiming that ED is not police and thus cannot arrest, citing a July 2022 judgement (Vijay Madanlal Choudhary case). This is a lie. In fact, that judgement upheld the power of ED to make arrests. Besides, ED derives it powers from the PMLA Act and not because they are police. Even recently, the ED arrested a sitting chief minister (Arvind Kejriwal). 27.59.235.31 (talk) 15:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
