Saturday 7th November, 2009 (IANS)
Former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, who faces arrest after being accused of laundering Rs.2,500 crore, was Sunday discharged from the Apollo Hospital here, an official said.
'Madhu Koda has been discharged,' Apollo Hospital spokesperson Javed Akhtar told IANS.
Koda was hospitalised Nov 3 after he complained of severe stomach ache. An investigator had then said the independent MP from Singhbhum was trying to buy time and evade arrest.
'We have informed ED (Enforcement Directorate) regarding Koda being discharged. Now it is up to the ED to decide what they have to do and it is also up to Madhu Koda when he will leave the hospital,' Akhtar added.
Koda faces arrest after the Income Tax (IT) department and ED exposed the scam running into thousands of crores.
On Oct 9, the ED lodged a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Koda, three more former ministers as well as his associates Vinod and Sanjay Chaudhary.
Vikas Sinha, brother of Koda's close aide Vinod Sinha, was Saturday sent to ED custody for 10 days.
According to sources, Vikas has admitted to sending Rs.40 crore abroad for Koda.  Email this story to a friend
