It is learned that after the release of an audio tape, there was a new sensation. According to sources, one of the accused in the probe, Binoy Mishra, was contacted by his relative and Bankura Police IC Ashok Mishra before he left the country.
The pace of the coal investigation is moving in the direction of many businessmen and the names of big and small officials of the police administration. They are linked to the main accused Anup Majhi alias Lala. They also kept in touch with Binoy Mishra, a youth leader of the returning Trinamool. Central detectives believe that those officials were involved in illegal coal smuggling. Through them, the money of coal smuggling has reached the influential people. Central detectives have compiled a list to confirm this. The summons process is going on from that list.
According to CBI sources, Lala had close contact with Amit. Amit’s company used to buy coal through saliva for business reasons.
