The CBI has conducted searches at the premises of Ahmedabad-based Maayank Tiwari who was allegedly posing as a high-ranking official of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), and was trying to force an eye hospital chain to “forget” more than ₹16 crore owed to it by an Indore-based hospital, officials said.
A number of documents were seized during searches conducted recently, and are being examined, they said. The agency said Mr. Tiwari has not been arrested so far.
Mr. Tiwari had allegedly called and sent messages from his mobile phone, asking the promoters of Dr. Agarwal’s — which runs a chain of eye hospitals — to settle a dispute with the hospital in Indore, which allegedly had to return ₹16 crore to the hospital chain, they said.
