Ranchi: With the IT department tightening
its noose around former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda
for hawala transactions, the state vigilance department will
ask the authorities to share the details of seized documents
and assets for using it as evidence against him in a
disproportionate assets case.
"We will definitely request the Income Tax Department
to share whatever documents and assets it has unearthed
(during the ongoing raids on Koda`s premises) ... We will use
them (the seized documents and assets) as evidence in the DA
case against Koda and three other former ministers," the
Inspector General of Police (Vigilance), M V Rao, said.
The vigilance department, which had already raided the
residences of Koda and the other ex-ministers, is looking into
the DA case after a complaint was filed before a special
vigilance court last year accusing them of amassing assets
running into crores of rupees between April, 2005 and December
2008.
On October 5 this year, the vigilance department had
filed chargesheets against ex-ministers Enos Ekka and
Harinarayan Rai, who are now in jail.
The department claimed that it had found Ekka and Rai
possessing Rs 6.67 crore and Rs 1.63 crore respectively, which
was more than their known sources of income.
The duo were ministers in the erstwhile Koda cabinet.
