The CBI has registered an FIR to probe the allegations of illegal mining in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand by Pankaj Mishra, an aide of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, officials said on Tuesday.
Tarn Taran SSP Gurmeet Singh Chauhan was transferred on September 29, two days after AAP's Khadoor Sahib MLA Manjinder Singh Lalpura alleged that the district police had filed a fake case for illegal mining against his brother-in-law, Nishan Singh.
AAP MLA from Khadoor Sahib, Manjinder Singh Lalpura, had on Wednesday alleged that Chauhan had implicated his relative in a false case of illegal mining, a charge that had been vehemently denied by the senior police officer.
The ED had summoned Soren to appear before it on September 18, but the CM did not appear on that day since the case was listed before the top court on the same day | Latest News India
