New Delhi: After examining senior PMO official T.K.A. Nair, CBI is likely to quiz industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla and former Coal Secretary P.C. Parakh soon in the coal blocks allocation scam. CBI had registered a case naming Mr Birla, Mr Parakh and unknown officials of Hindalco and coal ministry under various sections pertaining to criminal conspiracy and corruption for alleged irregularities in the allocation of two coal blocks.
CBI sources said here that the two would be questioned soon before deciding whether the agency should file a charge sheet or move a closure report.
The CBI alleged that during the year 2005, public servant (Parakh) abused his position and showed undue favour to Hindalco in allocation of Talabira II and Talabira III coal blocks.
