New Delhi: A Delhi court on Wednesday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to further probe a coal scam case involving Vikash Metals and Power Ltd in which a closure report was filed by it.

The Court has directed CBI to file a "progress report" of further investigation in the case on November 10.

"Copy of the order should be sent to CBI Director and DIGs who are supervising all coal scam cases," the court said.

On Monday, a special court which refused to accept CBI's closure report, observing that probe carried out by it was "sketchy" and its conclusion "apparently wrong", had summoned former coal secretary H C Gupta and five others as accused in a coal blocks allocation.
