<h1>IRS Officer Who Supervised Two Chief Ministers' Arrests Under Money Laundering Law Resigns After 16 Years</h1> A 45-year-old IRS officer from the 2009 batch resigned from government service after 16 years, citing personal reasons.

The officer was responsible for preparing questionnaires for high-profile political arrestees and closely monitored investigations.
