Ranchi, Aug. 25: Liquor baron Jogendra Tiwari is said to have faced the brunt of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after he allegedly spied upon the agency officers.
According to sources, he wanted to know every move of the agency against him in a money laundering case.
This continued for a couple of months till the ED discovered this.
But, according to sources, Jogendra Tiwari was unaware that the agency soon detected that its sleuths are under constant watch and their movements are being tracked.
Highly placed sources confided that the agency was aghast while discovering that a money laundering suspect dared spying upon the agency which is tantamount to interference in the investigation.
It was revealed that the movement of the officials involved in the investigation were physically tracked by unknown persons. The agency had to sanitise investigating apparatus to stop leakage of any information related investigation. It is understood that the agency put him under high surveillance.
Notably, the ED on Wednesday last carried a massive raid against Tiwari and many others in Jharkhand and outside in different cases, including liquor scam, land and sand scam.
During the raid, Jogendra Tiwari tried to inquire from the ED officials as to on which ground the agency was searching his premises and said that he was nowhere involved in any scam.
Sources said that upon this the ED top bosses told him that they were even aware of how he tried to spy upon the ED officials.
Jogendra Tiwari, who has been summoned by the ED tomorrow, is a big name in the liquor business in Jharkhand. He is believed to be heading the liquor cartel in Jharkhand. Besides, he has friends across political spectrum of Jharkhand.
