The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed closure report in two coal scam cases, said an official here Monday.
"The probing agency filed the closure report in the coal case related to JLD Yavatmal Energy and JAS Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. due to lack of prosecutable evidence," said a CBI official.
Congress MP Vijay Darda and his brother Rajendra, the Maharashtra education minister, have been accused of direct and active involvement in the affairs of three companies -- JLD Yavatmal Energy, JAS Infrastructure Pvt.
