GUWAHATI, March 16 - The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today grilled the five Enforcement officials, who were earlier denied bails, in connection with the illegal coal syndicate.

District Transport Officer (Registration) of Kamrup (Metro) Prasenjit Ghosh was also questioned in connection with the case. Ghosh was later transferred from his post of DTO, Kamrup (Metro).
