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 sleuths of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have intercepted a German national of Indian origin with a consignment of approximately six kilograms of cocaine at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, sources said on Thursday.
The action by the central probe agency came on the basis of a reliable input which said that the alleged person was travelling on a flight from Doha to New Delhi.
It is said that the federal probe agency got the inputs from an international agency in this regard, the sources added.
