The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday submitted its first chargesheet in the coal pilferage case in which it has named 41 people, including prime accused Anup Majhi alias Lala.
The multi-crore coal pilferage scam is related to the Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL) mines in West Bengal’s Kunustoria and Kajora areas of Paschim Bardhaman district.
“A total of 41 people have been named in the chargesheet. They include eight public servants, former general managers, chief managers and some current officials of Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL). Four among those named in the chargesheet – Jaydev Mandal, Narayan Nanda, Gurupad Majhi and Neerad Mandal – are part of the coal mafia,” said an official.
