Mumbai: A crucial piece of evidence in the Adarsh Housing Society scam - a hard disk - mysteriously disappeared on Tuesday from the Urban Development Department (UDD) just days after a key file went missing.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has informed the special CBI court that one out of the 10 hard disks from the Urban Development department - pertaining to the case has gone missing.

Incidentally, last week the Environment Ministry had reported that a file related to the Adarsh case was untraceable.

This is not the first time that official documents have gone missing in this high-profile probe involving the Army and bureaucrats.

The CBI is still investigating the case of pages which went missing from a file last year. The file had important notes by bureaucrats who had given controversial clearances had gone missing.

The CBI is likely to question the Environment Ministry Director to get an idea of the exact sequence of events.

The construction of the building allegedly violated CRZ norms, and it allegedly got additional FSI in breach of many rules. CBI is probing the scam, which came to light last September.

After the controversy broke last year, four pages of a file on Adarsh, pertaining to the deletion of a nearby road from civic plans for giving more FSI to the society, and CRZ clearances, was found to be missing from state UDD office.
