Ninna SRI1 thammi annadu veeni corruption gurunchi The Income Tax department on Saturday conducted countrywide searches on nearly 60 properties allegedly owned by former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda and claimed to have found evidence of "unaccounted" money transactions during his tenure. The searches, which began at 9:30 am, were carried out after the Enforcement Directorate registered a case against 38-year-old Koda for alleged money laundering and diversion of state funds. "It appears there were unaccounted money transactions when Koda was mines minister during the Arjun Munda government and subsequently during (his) chief ministership," IT Director of Investigation Ujjwal Choudhary told media persons in Ranchi after raids on the premises of Koda and his alleged associates Sanjay Choudhary and Binod Sinha. The Enforcement Directorate had registered the case on October 9 against Koda and three of his ministerial colleagues on charges of making huge illegal investments abroad, including purchase of mines as far as in Liberia. Koda was chief minister between February 2006 and August 2008. The searches were being conducted by at least 70 teams comprising 400 IT sleuths and assisted by ED men on the properties located in Delhi [ Images ], Kolkata [ Images ], Mumbai [ Images ], Lucknow [ Images ], Nasik, Ranchi, Chaibasa and Jamshedpur, officials said. http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/oct/31/it-raids-on-ex-jha rkhand-cm-koda-assets.htm |
