The Central Bureau of Investigation has named 41 people, including senior officials of Eastern Coalfields Limited, in its charge sheet filed at a court in West Bengal’s Asansol in a multi-crore coal pilferage scam.
Among others who find mention in the charge sheet are private companies and unknown officials of the CISF and Railways, a CBI statement said.
“They entered into a conspiracy and in pursuance of that, fraudulently misappropriated coal from the coal reserve of leasehold areas under the dominion of ECL, and also from the coal stock parked in the Railway sidings for sale and supply,” it said.
