Coal scam: CBI's charges against Naveen Jindal
The CBI registered a case today against Congress MP Naveen Jindal, his company Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL), and former Minister of State for Coal Dasari Narayan Rao. Mr Jindal has been accused of criminal misconduct, conspiracy and cheating. The CBI says that within a year of being allocated a coal block in Jharkhand, Mr Jindal's company invested 2.25 crores in a firm owned by Mr Rao. The agency will now have to establish that the investment was a camouflaged kickback.
