Unitech Founder Used "Secret Underground Office": Probe Agency

The Supreme Court had also dismissed the bail application of Chandra's brother Ajay Chandra, who is in jail since August 2017.

Making a startling revelation in the Supreme Court, the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday said it has unearthed a "secret underground office" which was being operated by erstwhile Unitech founder Ramesh Chandra and visited by his sons Sanjay Chandra and Ajay Chandra when on parole or bail. Enforcement Directorate, which has been investigating money laundering charges against the Chandras' and Unitech Ltd, said that both Sanjay and Ajay have rendered the entire judicial custody otiose as they have been freely communicating, instructing their officials, and disposing of their properties from inside the jail. A bench of Justice D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah was told by Additional Solicitor General Madhavi Divan, appearing for the Enforcement Directorate, that Chandras' have deputed their 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."
