The IT department has tightened its noose around former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda for hawala transactions.
With the IT department tightening its noose around former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda for hawala transactions, the state vigilance department will ask the authorities to share the details of seized documents and assets for using it as evidence against him in a disproportionate assets case.
"We will definitely request the Income Tax Department to share whatever documents and assets it has unearthed (during the ongoing raids on Koda's premises) ... We will use them (the seized documents and assets) as evidence in the DA case against Koda and three other former ministers," the inspector general of Police (Vigilance), MV Rao, told PTI.
The vigilance department, which had already raided the residences of Koda and the other ex-ministers, is looking into the DA case after a complaint was filed before a special vigilance court last year accusing them of amassing assets running into crores of rupees between April, 2005 and December 2008.
On October 5 this year, the vigilance department had filed chargesheets against ex-ministers Enos Ekka and Harinarayan Rai, who are now in jail. The department claimed that it had found Ekka and Rai possessing Rs6.67 crore and Rs1.63 crore respectively, which was more than their known sources of income. The duo were ministers in the erstwhile Koda cabinet.
Separate IT teams have been conducting raids at the residences of Koda and his associates since Friday and sealing properties in connection with the alleged hawala transactions and illegal investments case.
The IT department had claimed that evidence of Rs2,000 crore in hawala transaction and illegal investments were found by its sleuths in searches conducted in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Lucknow, Nasik, Ranchi, Chaibasa and Jamshedpur.
The searches were conducted after the Enforcement Directorate registered a case against Koda and his associates Sanjay Choudhary and Vinod Kumar Sinha on October 9 on charges of making huge illegal investments abroad.
