Ranchi, November 04: Jharkhand High Court today allowed former Chief Minister Madhu Koda, who is facing money laundering charges, to attend the winter session of Lok Sabha from November 7 to December 15.
On a plea by Koda, who represents Singhbhum Lok Sabha constituency, Justice Pradeep Kumar directed the CBI and the state police to take appropriate steps to taking the MP to Delhi.
39-year-old Koda, who was arrested on November 30 last year and is now in judicial custody, is facing money laundering charges to the tune of Rs 2,500 crore.
The Income Tax department, the Enforcement Directorate and the CBI are also investigating separately into the Koda scam that surfaced on October 31 last year during a countrywide search by agencies on the premises of Koda and his associates.
