Ranchi: A member of the erstwhile
Madhu Koda ministry Bhanu Pratap Sahi on Saturday surrendered before
a special CBI court in connection with a Rs 20 crore medicine
scam.
The court of NN Singh sent him to 14 days judicial
custody.
Sahi’s surrender came in the background of court’s order
to CBI to attach his property if he did not surrender by
Monday.
A note to this effect was pasted on his premsies.
The investigating agency had conducted raids on his
premises for about twenty times and his property.
Sahi, who had been a health minister in the Koda
government, is the fifth former minister to be sent in
judicial custody in connection with alleged irregularities of
funds.
Koda and his former ministers Kamlesh Singh, Enos Ekka
and Harinarain Rai are already in judicial custody on
corruption charges.
