Raipur: The Anti-Corruption Bureau/Economic Offences Wing (ACB/EOW) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against accused Narayan Sahu in Crime No. 03/2024 related to an illegal coal-levy extortion racket.
The supplementary complaint was submitted before the Special Court under sections 120B, 420, 384, 467 of IPC, along with provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (Sections 7, 7A, 12).
Officials said this is the sixth supplementary chargesheet, in addition to the original chargesheet already filed.
Investigators allege that Narayan Sahu, currently lodged in Central Jail, Raipur, played an active role in the levy syndicate allegedly operated under Suryakant Tiwari. He is accused of collecting illegal levies from coal traders and transport operators and passing the proceeds to Rajnikant Tiwari.
The investigation further indicates that nearly ₹7 crore collected through the network was transferred, managed and routed via Soumya Chaurasia, Sameer Vishnoi and others.
The supplementary filing also includes additional documentary and oral evidence against other accused. The investigation into further suspects is still ongoing.
