| @indiablooms | 26 Oct 2020, 12:07 pm

New Delhi/IBNS: Former Union Minister Dilip Ray was on Monday sentenced to an imprisonment of three years by a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court for his role in the irregularities in the allocation of a Jharkhand coal block in 1999, media reports said.

Apart from Ray, two others, who were also convicted, have also been awarded the same jail term.

Ray, who was the junior Coal Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, was earlier convicted in the case.

However, the CBI had sought life imprisonment for Ray and other convicts in the case.
