Income tax director to stay as Koda scam investigator
October 1st, 2010 - 8:59 pm ICT by IANSRanchi, Oct 1 (IANS) The Jharkhand High Court Friday rejected an income tax department plea to relieve its Director Investigation Ujjawal Chaudhary from probing the Madhu Koda scam.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Bhagwati Prasad and Justice R.R. Prasad ordered that Chaudhary will stay on as investigator of the Koda scam and asked the income tax department to find another person to do duty in the coming Bihar assembly elections.
The income tax department had Monday filed a petition in the court requesting that Chaudhary be relieved from the Koda probe for election duty in Bihar.
The department raided 69 places in eight cities in India in October last year and 67 places in February this year. The raids were conducted under Chaudhary’s supervision at houses of former chief minister Madhu Koda and others. The raids unearthed a Rs.2,500- crore money laundering scam.
