Ranchi: Former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, who is in judicial custody in connection with corruption charges, on Thursday moved the Jharkhand High Court seeking direction to BJP leader Saryu Roy not to go ahead with the release of his book narrating his 23-month-old regime.
Koda moved the court on the basis of Roy's book titled
"Madhu Koda Loot Raj".
Contacted, Roy said "Dr Subramanian Swamy has given
his consent to launch my book on January 15 here".
Koda, who was at the head of UPA-coalition government
between 2006 and 2008, was arrested on November 30, 2009 on
charges of financial irregularities during his tenure and
facing probe by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate.
