Agency may name officials in the next round of FIRs
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Coalgate points to a criminal conspiracy hatched by Coal Ministry officials along with certain functionaries of the Power Ministry and State governments in accepting and pursuing forged documents from tainted companies, including that of Congress MP Vijay Darda-linked JLD Yavatmal Energy Limited, for fraudulent allocation of coal blocks.
Highly-placed government sources said the next round of FIRs to be lodged by the CBI could actually name the officials who were part and parcel of this conspiracy and had joined hands to suppress facts pertaining to these companies, their standing, holdings and financial transactions. Certain officials of the Screening Committee, the Coal Ministry, the Ministry of Power and other administrative machinery deliberately overlooked the misrepresentation of facts by the tainted companies, they added.
“Enquiry also revealed that officials of the Ministry of Coal, in pursuance of the criminal conspiracy, failed to carry out scrutiny of the aforesaid documents regarding the false claims/concealment of facts by JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd for which the company got undue advantage in allocation of the Fatehpur East coal blocks,” the FIR filed by CBI on September 3 states.
