New Delhi: Sanjay Chandra and Ajay Chandra, the former Directors of Unitech, will be shifted from Delhi’s Tihar Jail to Mumbai’s Arthur Road and Taloja Jail, the Supreme Court ordered today. The order came after the Enforcement Directorate informed the court that it has found a “secret underground office” that’s being used by Unitech founder Ramesh Chandra and visited by his sons Sanjay Chandra and Ajay Chandra when on parole or bail.
The agency said with this, they have been freely communicating, instructing their officials, and disposing of their properties from inside the jail. Also, this was done through the collusion of the Tihar Jail authorities.
The top court has also ordered an investigation by the Commissioner of the Delhi Police.
In a report, the Enforcement Directorate told A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and MR Shah that Chandras have deputed officials outside the jail to communicate their instructions to the outside world.
“During one of our search and seizure operations, we have unearthed a secret underground office, which is being used by Ramesh Chandra and visited by his sons when they are out on parole or bail,” Additional Solicitor General Madhavi Divan, appearing for the Enforcement Directorate, told the court, reported PTI.
