Achi news desk-
Rano Sahu and Soumya Chaurasia reached the court to appear.
EOW got the arrest of Rano Sahu and Soumya Chaurasia in the Chhattisgarh coal scam case. The EOW team arrived at the Riphor Special Court with both of them under production warrant. Here the team asked for 15 days of detention, but only 4 days of detention were received from the court.
.
EOW will now interrogate both of them in the coal scam case till May 27. Earlier, suspended IAS Ranu Sahu and Soumya Chaurasia were suspended in Raipur Central Jail. On Thursday, Justice Atul Srivastava’s court transferred the custody of both to the EOW.
Suspended IAS Rano Sahu was also produced in the court.
The defense side said – there are no concrete facts to extend detention
Advocate Faisal Rizvi said the EOW filed the application after the arrest, seeking remand till June 5. We objected to that. We said one person got bail in ED case and Renault Sahu’s bail is pending in Supreme Court.
Soumya Chaurasia’s bail hearing is also scheduled to take place in the Supreme Court, hence the arrest is being made again. Some solid facts were not presented even for a remand request. The investigation took place for 3 days and hence we opposed the extension of the detention.
An investigation has been done at the prison before
Even before that, the special court gave permission for an investigation for 5 days and then for 3 days. The staff was then interrogated at the Raipur Central Jail from March 29 to April 2 and then from April 4 to 7. In the same case, suspended IAS Sameer Vishnoi, Shivshankar Nag and Suryakant Tiwari, who are in jail, were questioned.
On the ED’s report in the Chhattisgarh coal scam case, ACB-EOW registered an FIR against 36 people, including two former ministers and MLAs. Meanwhile, ACB team has started investigation in this matter.
