The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has made a significant discovery during a raid at the Dumri Yard in Jharkhand, uncovering approximately 1,400 metric tonnes of excess coal that was not officially declared. The raid, conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in coal transportation and storage, has raised serious concerns over potential illegal stockpiling and regulatory breaches.
According to officials familiar with the matter, the CBI’s team swooped in on Dumri Yard, a key transit point for coal, after receiving credible intelligence about discrepancies in the documented stock and actual inventory. Preliminary investigations suggest that the undeclared coal may have been diverted from legitimate supply chains, possibly for illicit trade or undervaluation to evade duties and taxes. The exact origin of the excess coal and the entities involved are yet to be fully ascertained, but the discovery points to systemic gaps in monitoring and enforcement.
