Ranchi/Mumbai: A team of investigators spent one whole day at the residence of Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, sifting through his papers and questioning him. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also begun action against him in New Delhi. The ED will also send a team to Mumbai today to collect documents of all companies mentioned by Vikas Sinha, a close aide of Koda. Sinha, who was arrested by the income tax sleuths on November 6 underwent medical tests yesterday and has been allowed to take rest. The ED is looking into reports that two film actresses may also be involved in hawala payoffs. Koda reportedly
is not cooperating with the investigators. "We are questioning him about the evidence
we found in his house. Till the whole process is completed, it is difficult to
ascertain what information we have. Our investigations have been positive. It
is moving forward in the right direction. So far as cooperation is concerned,
Koda is giving statements. If the statements are clear, it will take less time,
because it all depends on how clear the statements are," said Income Tax Commissioner
Ajit Srivastava.
