MP Vijay Darda wrote to PMO for coal block to JLD: CBI to court

The disclosure came after CBI prosecutors AP Singh and VK Sharma told a special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar on Wednesday adding that not only the PMO he also tried to pressurise others for the allocations of coal blocks to the mentioned company where he himself is the director.

CBI prosecutors and investigating officer, while arguing on the closure report filed by the agency in the coal scam case, told the court that Darda had written atleast 10 letters to the PMO and others in this regard.

Earlier, the probe agency has filed the closure report in the case in which it had earlier registered an FIR against JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd, its directors Vijay Darda, his son Devendra Darda, Rajendra Darda, Manoj Jayaswal, Anand Jayaswal and Abhishek Jayaswal and other unknown persons.

The court, after hearing the arguments, fixed the matter for consideration on the closure report on 20 November. ‘Arguments heard. Put up for consideration on 20 November,’ the judge said.

During the arguments, the investigating officer told the court that the government of Chattisgarh, where the Fatehpur East Coal Block was situated, had not recommended coal block to JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd.

The CBI has also filed a bunch of relevant documents related to the case in the court. Earlier, CBI had lodged an FIR in the case against six individuals, the firm and unknown persons under sections 420 (cheating) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC.
