Enforcement Directorate summons ex-Jharkhand CM Koda, aides | The Enforcement Directorate has summoned former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda and seven of his aides in connection with alleged Hawala transactions. Koda and his aides
have been directed to present themselves before the directorate on November 9,
10,11. An Enforcement Directorate team from Delhi had arrived in Ranchi to obtain
documents on the alleged Hawala transactions carried out by Koda and his associates.
It intended to obtain material evidence and documents seized by the Income Tax
department and source information from the records of the tax searches against
Koda and others. After witnessing nationwide raids for three days to unearth the
assets of the former Jharkhand chief minister and his associates, Koda on Tuesday
complained of a pain in his abdomen, giddiness, nausea, and vomiting. He was admitted
to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Apollo Hospital in Ranchi. Koda had undergone
a surgery at the same hospital for a kidney stone on Oct.22. It is being speculated
that with the Koda being hospitalized, he might not be approached for questioning
by the Income Tax department. Recently, during interrogation Koda had admitted
to have known Vinon Sinha and Sanjay Choudhary, but said there was no financial
deal between them. On Tuesday, Vinod told TV channels that he had not absconded.
The IT department has set November 6 as the deadline for six of Koda's alleged
aides to appear before it to explain certain transactions and events. They have
been told that if they fail to appear, they will be liable for legal action. |
