The Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned eight IPS officers from Bengal to appear for interrogation on separate dates this month at its headquarters in Delhi in connection with its probe into the alleged money-trail in the multi-crore coal pilferage case in Bengal.
The IPS officers summoned by the central agency include Gyanwant Singh, Koteswara Rao, S Selvamurugan, Shyam Singh, Rajiv Mishra, Sukesh Kumar Jain and Tathagata Basu, senior ED officials said adding that each of them has been summoned for questioning on separate dates.
“A probe has revealed that the eight IPS officers are suspected to be part of the coal smuggling case. These officers allegedly benefited from the scam as they were posted in areas from where the smuggling took place,” the ED official said.
