Vigilance Bureau today made a commitment in Jharkhand High Court to complete its probe into a seed scam detected in the department of agriculture, within three months.
Appearing before the court, Bureau's Superintendent of Police Raj Kumar Lakra and Deputy Superintendent of Police Sailesh Burnwal made the commitment after the division bench headed by Acting Chief Justice B N Patel asked them when would they complete the investigation as FIR into the scam was lodged in 2009.
The officials, whose statement was taken on record at the direction of the bench, further said that during the course of investigation the scam amount has risen to over Rs 150 crore.
The bench was hearing on a PIL and would hear the matter on September 30.
