Besides, notices have been issued to the state government, CBI and ED and directed to respond. Vijay Hansda has filed an FIR against both of them accusing them of using caste based words and threatening them. This case is currently pending in the court of Additional Justice Commissioner of Ranchi.

Vijay Hansda asked for money in the name of the petition – In the petition filed on behalf of Mukesh Yadav, it was said that he does water transportation work in Sahibganj. Vijay Hansda contacted him while he was in jail and said that illegal miners had implicated him in a false case and sent him to jail.
