Ranchi, November 27: Vigilance Bureau issued fresh summons to former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda in a disproportionate assets case to appear before it on December 4 after he failed to do so today.
“He was to appear today. But he sent a letter stating that he was busy in electioneering. The department immediately issued (fresh) summons to appear before it on December 4,” Inspector General of Police (Vigilance) M V Rao told PTI here.
The summons were issued in connection with a disproportionate assets (DA) case pending before the special Vigilance Court here.
Bandhu Tirkey, Kamlesh Singh and Bhanu Pratap Sahi are the other former ministers in the then Koda government who are also facing DA charges, Rao said.
Koda had also failed to appear before the Enforcement Directorate on November 13, 15 and 19 citing the same reason.
