The Centre has sought from the Bihar government a detailed status report on multi-crore flood-relief scam, state Chief Secretary K A H Subramanian said on Saturday.
Did Time hero embezzle fund relief cash?
Subramanian told reporters at state secretariat in Patna that he had received a message from Union home ministry seeking a report on the flood relief provided to lakhs of marooned people of north Bihar last year.
The chief secretary said no time frame had been mentioned for sending the report, but said he would send the report as soon as possible.
Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress, Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Communist Party of India-Marxist Leninist (Liberation) have already sought a CBI probe into the scam.
