The CBI on Tuesday recorded the statement of Gyanwant Singh, Bengal’s director of security, in connection with the agency’s probe into the multi-crore coal smuggling case. The senior IPS officer walked into CBI’s Nizam Palace office at 6.30am. Sources said he had sought this time slot as he had several prior engagements with incoming chief minister Mamata Banerjee later in the day. Singh walked out around two hours later.
Neither CBI nor Singh talked of what transpired but CBI sources said his statement would be studied before taking the next decision.
