Madhu Koda faces arrest on discharge from hospital | Income Tax sleuths on Thursday made it clear that former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda will be arrested as soon as he is discharged from hospital.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and IT department have also directed the ARA
Memorial Weaver's Hospital in Ranchi, where Koda is recuperating, not to release
him without informing them. Earlier, the IT department sealed Koda's house in
Ranchi. The ED had also issued a summons to 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 ED team from Delhi
had earlier arrived in Ranchi to obtain documents on the alleged hawala transactions
carried out by Koda and his associates. It intends 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 had on Tuesday complained of a pain in his abdomen, giddiness
and vomiting. He was admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Apollo Hospital
in Ranchi. 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. |
