New Delhi, Ranchi: Former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, who is facing money laundering and corruption charges, on Thursday failed to appear before the enforcement directorate citing his election campaigning in interior areas of the state.
The ED had summoned Koda to appear before its officials in Ranchi for questioning in the multi-crore hawala and illegal investments case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Apart from election campaigning, Koda will also be attending the Lok Sabha winter session.
ED officials, however, did not say anything about the new dates to be issued to the former chief minister. “We will take an appropriate decision,” sources said.
Koda was to be questioned on the basis of documents seized during the nationwide income tax searches on him and his associates, which began on October 31.
The enforcement directorate also wanted to grill Koda on the statements of his business partner Vikash Sinha, arrested by the directorate and presently in judicial custody.
