Sanjay Tiwari told the owner of the tea garden
Sanjay Tiwari had filed an intervention petition in the Supreme Court on February 22, 2023. In this, he described himself as the owner of a tea garden spread over 300.03 acres. His court was told the address of the tea garden and factory as ‘Hugrijan Tea Estate, Near Bor Dubi Road, Duliajan, Dibrugarh, Assam-785691’.
Sanjay presented the evidence of his claim in the court
Claimed that he had negotiated his tea garden with Rajesh Modi, Dinesh Modi, Ramesh Khemka and Ashok Khemka. These people also have ‘Jodhpur Tea Estate Industries Pvt Ltd’ in Dibrugarh itself. These people have agreed to give me a loan of Rs 15 crore at 1.25% monthly interest by mortgaging my ‘Hugrijan Tea Estate’. Mortgage deed has also been prepared for this. Sanjay had also submitted a copy of the mail conversation and agreement with Rajesh Modi in the court as proof of his claim.
ED team went to Assam to find out the truth
