A team from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) visited the Chas Circle Office in Bokaro on Thursday to investigate alleged irregularities in land records, creating a stir among employees. Led by DSP Naval Kishore Prasad, the team examined official documents, including Register-II, and questioned staff regarding suspicious entries.
