Police have registered a case against mine operator James Sukhlain of Lumthari village, for running the mine illegally and at present he is absconding.
The accident inside the coal pit on Thursday was of significance, especially because the National Green Tribunal (NGT) had ordered an interim ban on 'rat-hole' coal mining in the state from April 17, 2014.
