Ranchi, October 28: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will again interrogate liquor businessman Yogendra Tiwari, accused in the Jharkhand liquor scam, for six days.
The special court has given permission for this.
Earlier, ED had interrogated Yogendra Tiwari for eight days. ED sources claimed that many important revelations have been made in this inquiry.
After the remand period ended on Saturday, Yogendra Tiwari was presented in the Special Court of Ranchi PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act).
During this, special public prosecutor B.M.P Singh, present on behalf of ED, sought permission to grant remand of six days to interrogate Yogendra Tiwari again which was accepted by the court.
Incidentally, liquor businessman Yogendra Tiwari was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on October 19. He is accused of illegal earning through liquor scam and money laundering.
In this case, ED had raided 34 locations simultaneously on August 23. These locations include Yogendra Tiwari’s warehouse located in front of Hotel Siddharth in Deoghar, residence located near Dr Rajeev Pandey Hospital in Bompas Town, M/s Santhal Pargana Builders Private Limited located in D-2 of Harmu Housing Colony and two locations in Jamtara in connection with illegal liquor and sand businesses and associated money laundering.
