- Ranchi, Nov 8 (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.

During the Koda government many criminals became millionaires and all cases against them were dropped. Two such criminals are from Japla, Hussainabad, Palamau. They re two brothers Shammu & Taki. They were born in Bangladesh and now managed to get Indian passports & fake birth certificates. They deal in illegal weapons, fake currencies & they steal coal from passing by trains.
Koda’s associates helped them get government contracts & allowed them to grab land illegally. The local SDO is also part of this scam.
One guy called Firoz who was a footballer in jharkhand, went to Pakistan, he is their contact in Pakistan, and this gang is flourishing through illegal activities.
One can check their sudden creation of wealth to understand the scale of the scam and criminal nexus.
