What is the coal scam case?
The issue of levy recovery in the alleged Rs 500 crore coal scam case in Chhattisgarh came to light in the ED raid. It is alleged that during coal transportation, permits obtained online were taken offline to make recovery from coal traders. The then Director of Mineral Department, IAS Sameer Vishnoi had issued an order for this on 15 July 2020. For this, recovery was done by forming a syndicate. Coal businessman Suryakant Tiwari was considered to be the mastermind of the entire matter.
