Babulal Marandi, leader of the opposition in Jharkhand Assembly, has written to Chief Minister Hemant Soren, demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or judicial probe into alleged fake salary withdrawals from government treasuries.

Marandi, a senior BJP leader, alleged that this issue extends beyond mere financial irregularities, hinting at a 'widespread and organised corruption.' He highlighted that illegal withdrawals amounting to over Rs 35 crore have been reported in districts like Bokaro, Hazaribagh, Sahibganj, Garhwa, and Palamu.
