Ranchi, Nov 7 (IANS) Geeta Koda, wife of former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda — who is accused of laundering Rs.2,500 crore — sacrificed 11 goats at a temple here for her husband’s well-being.
According to reports, Geeta sacrificed the goats Friday evening at Rajrappa temple in Ramgarh district, about 40 km from here.

According to the temple priests, she prayed for her husband’s recovery. Koda was admitted to a hospital Nov 3 here complaining of stomach ache.

On Saturday, Geeta visited Koda’s Lok Sabha constituency Singhbhum. “My husband is innocent and he is being implicated,” Geeta told people there.

Koda also found a supporter in his father, Rasik Koda, who said his son was being implicated for political reasons.

“He (Koda) wanted his people to fight 25 assembly seats in the polls. He is a victim of political conspiracy,” Rasik told reporters at his village Patahatu in West Singhbhum district.

On Oct 9, the Enforcement Directorate lodged a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Koda, three more former ministers as well as his associates Vinod Sinha and Chaudhary.
