New Delhi: Several senior officials of nationalised banks, posted in Bhagalpur and Sah-arsa districts in Bihar, are now under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with its probe into the multi-crore Srijan Scam of Bihar. The ED sleuths are in constant touch with CBI officials who recently examined certain bank officials.

“Investigations by the Central agencies into the Srijan scam have revealed that entries in certain bank accounts of the accused NGO — Srijan Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti — were made even after they (accounts) were closed. The agency is probing the role of senior officials of certain nationalised banks in this regard,” sources said. Both the Central agencies — CBI and ED — are investigating the scam.
