Coal Scam: Ex-top bureaucrats come out in support of Parakh

Parakh has dubbed as "baseless" allegations levelled against him by the CBI.



"There is absolutely nothing wrong with the decision. It was a very fair and correct decision that we took. I don't know why CBI thought that there is a conspiracy," Parakh has said.

"But, if there is a conspiracy, then there are different members in this conspiracy. There is KM Birla who made the representation, he is one conspirator. I, who examined the case and made a recommendation, I can be another conspirator and the Prime Minister, who as the coal minister, took the final decision, is the third conspirator.

"So, if the CBI thinks there is a conspiracy, why did they choose and select Mr Birla and me and not the PM. If conspiracy is there, then everyone is part of the conspiracy," he contended.
