HC asks CBI to probe missing land documents besides land scam

The Jharkhand High Court on Friday asked the CBI, which is investigating the land scam in Deogarh district, to also probe complaints of missing land documents besides the scam itself.

Taking cognisance to the letter of the Deogarh Bar Association about the missing documents, the court asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe the missing documents in the multi-crore land scam that surfaced last year.

The court asked the CBI to look into the arrest of only two accused in the case, which was not possible for only two persons' involvement in such magnitude of the scam.
