Jagran correspondent, Sahibganj. The CBI team investigating illegal mining continued its investigation here for the third day. Some people were also interrogated on Thursday. However, the main focus so far is on scrutiny of documents. CBI is matching the data of stone production and dispatch. It is tallying how much production was done in which stone mine and how much was dispatched.
If sources are to be believed, many stone traders took lease of stone mines but in the name of lease, they mined stones illegally in nearby mines and sold them on valid invoices. It is being told that many stone traders became millionaires through this method also. Now CBI can get their stone mines measured. On the other hand, cases were registered against many people in the past on charges of illegal mining on Lemon Mountain. Some people were also sent to jail. In such a situation, CBI can interrogate those people.
