The Enforcement Directorate and Jharkhands Vigilance Bureau have decided to share information related to the multi-crore illegal investments and hawala transactions cases against former chief minister Madhu Koda.
This was needed to quicken the pace of investigation and submit chargesheets, said IG Vigilance M V Rao. The decision was taken at a meeting in Delhi between top ED and officials of the state Vigilance earlier this week.
The ED and the Vigilance had filed separate FIRs against Koda and eight other accused,including two of his associates Sanjay Choudhary and Binod Sinha and his former minister Kamlesh Singh.
While the ED had booked them under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act,the Vigilance had slapped a fraud,corruption and disproportionate assets case.
Koda and Singh,who were remanded in judicial custody for 14 days on November 30,were on Wednesday shifted from the Birsal Munda jail to the state-run RIMS hospital on health grounds at the directive of the Special Vigilance Court.
