New Delhi: After collecting fresh documents from the state revenue department, the CBI is now contemplating registering four more cases pertaining to the multi-crore Srijan scam in Bihar. The fresh cases, sources said, will be registered against former senior bureaucrats of the revenue department.
“The CBI will soon register at least four more cases on the basis of fresh evidence collected by the agency sleuths during investigation,” sources said. The CBI has already registered 25 cases in the Srijan scam.
Sources added that the investigation has revealed that several cheques issued by the nationalised banks were allegedly transferred to different accounts of the accused NGO — Srijan Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti Limited of Bhagalpur district — without verifying the account details by four officials of the revenue department. At least six former officials of the revenue department allegedly played crucial role in diverting government funds to the accounts of Srijan, sources said adding that they will soon be called for examination.
The agency is also probing the role of some more officials of certain nationalised banks as part of investigation into the recently registered FIRs, sources said. The CBI has so far registered around 25 FIRs in the Srijan scam.
