Madhu Koda to be questioned today

Ranchi, November 10: The Income Tax officials will today interrogate former Jharkhand chief minister Madu Koda around 11 am in Rs 4000 crore hawala scam.

However, it is still uncertain weather he will be arrested or not. Koda will also appear before Enforcement Directorate (ED) on November 13. Madhu Koda’s aide Bhanu Pratap Shahi would also be questioned today.

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda was discharged from a hospital on Sunday and will be questioned by the Income Tax department in a money laundering case on Tuesday while the Enforcement Directorate summoned him to appear before it next Friday.

“Fresh Summons have been served on Koda to appear before the ED on November 13,” a senior official of the Enforcement Directorate told reporters.

Ajit Shrivastav, Additional Director(Investigation), met Koda at his home shortly after he was discharged from the hospital.

“He (Koda) requested me to just allow him one day rest and said then we can start out investigation. We can start from day after tomorrow,” Shrivastav said about future probe in the Rs 2,000 crore alleged Hawala and illegal investments case.
