The CBI has registered cases against three officials of Bharat Coking Coal (BCCL) and four officials of a private firm in Dhanbad for allegedly cheating the state-run coal company of Rs 65 lakh.
The CBI after getting a tip-off about the alleged ongoing irregularities in BCCL conducted a joint surprise check with the vigilance wing of the company.
During the check, it came to light that AGM of BCCL Subir Ghosh, Area Manager Planning B C Manjhi and Senior Finance Officer R Tiwary were allegedly passing bills of an ex-servicemen (ESM) firm which was violating rules set by the Directorate General Resettlement, a CBI spokesperson said.
"A Dhanbad-based private ESM firm, Natraj Coal Transport was engaged for transporting coal in BCCL. This company deployed employees from civilian category.
"As per DGR rules, the firm should have hired minimum 75 per cent of total regular employees from ex-servicemen category within six months of commencement of work," he said.
But despite the alleged violation, the bills raised by the firm were passed by BCCL officials thus causing a wrongful loss of Rs 65 lakh, the spokesperson said.
CBI has also registered cases against Wg Cdr (rtd) Dilbagh Singh Suhag, Wg Cdr (rtd) Balraj Singh Rathee, Lt Col (rtd) G S Rathee, all directors and Dariya Singh, supervisor in the firm under different sections of IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act.
