The family members of Rungtas are in a state of shock and grief with the special court in New Delhi today awarding four-year jail term to JIPL Directors- RS Rungta and RC Rungta- in connection with a coal scam case.

“There is nothing to say.We will fight the case in appropriate court and seek justice”,said Sangit Kejriwal,a family member,echoing the sentiments of many relatives in Ranchi.
