Premises of retired executive engineer raided by EOW

The Economic Offences Wing of Madhya Pradesh police raided the premises of a retired executive engineer of the state Water Resources Department Wednesday and allegedly unearthed assets worth crores of rupees, an official said.

"We raided one place in Jabalpur and three premises owned by Kodu Prasad Tiwari, a retired executive engineer, in Satna district," EOW deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Rajvardhan Maheshwari said.

"We unearthed assets worth crores of rupees amassed by him, which are disproportionate to his known sources of income," the DSP added.

Documents seized during the raids showed that Tiwari allegedly owns 120 acres of agricultural land among other properties, he claimed.

 

A case has been registered and further investigation is on, the EOW officer said.
