Coal scam case: Next hearing on 10 Dec
The charge framing is once again deferred in the high profile coal scam case in CBI Special Court in Asansol today as one of the main accused Bikash Mishra was not present in the court.
The Central Bureau of Investigations on Wednesday submitted status report in forest guard, Hoshiar Singh murder case.
The CBI has constituted three teams to probe the case and has submitted its first status report in the case after the case was handed over to the investigating agency by the HP High Court on 13 September.
Hoshiar Singh’s body was found hanging on tree upside down in Karsog area in Mandi district in 9 June, four days after he had gone missing.

Initially, the Police had reportedly indicated it to be a suicide based on the suicide note recovered from the possession, however, amid public outrage, a case of murder was registered and six persons were arrested.
Though the HP Police has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the death, the locals and forest guard’s kin are demanding CBI inquiry into the incident.
The locals alleged that the Police is trying to hush-up the matter as many high profile persons are involved in tree felling in the area against whom Hoshiar Singh had raised his voice.
