CBI registers fresh FIR in connection with coal scam against RPG group
The CBI has registered a fresh FIR in connection with the coal scam against RPG Group companies after conducting a Preliminary Enquiry for 10 years.
The agency has booked RPG Industries Limited, RPG Enterprises Limited and CESC Limited in connection with alleged irregularities in a 27-year-old allocation process of the Sarisatoli, Tara and Deocha Pachami blocks in West Bengal from 1993 to 1995, officials said.
The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) had, on September 19, 2012, referred a complaint of the then Congress MP Sandeep Dixit and six other MPs, seeking a probe into alleged irregularities in the allocation of 24 coal blocks during the 1993-2004 period, to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), following which a preliminary enquiry was registered by the probe agency on September 26, 2012.
