Koda's house sealed; arrest any time soon?

NDTV Correspondent, Thursday November 5, 2009, Ranchi

Madhu Koda has been shifted from the ICU to a private ward of the Apollo Hospital in Ranchi.

The noose is tightening around the former Jharkhand chief minister. He is likely to be arrested once he is released from the hospital. A summon was slapped on Koda at the hospital on Wednesday.

The Income Tax officials have also asked the hospital authorities to inform them before releasing the former chief minister.

Income Tax officers have sealed his house in Ranchi after four days of raids. I-T sleuths claim to have found several incriminating documents proving his hawala transactions. Koda and his associates' properties have been searched across the country. Koda is accused of possessing disproportionate assets of over Rs 2,000 crore.

Meanwhile, RJD chief Laloo Prasad Yadav has said, "We gave him support, but that's not a big issue. In politics you do extend support. Koda should be thoroughly probed. The government should probe and punish."

Earlier, a team of Enforcement Directorate officials from Delhi visited Ranchi in connection with the probe into the alleged hawala case against Koda and his associates.

On Wednesday Koda was admitted in a hospital in Ranchi after he complained of a stomach ache.

My only prayer for the country is that corruption should not lead to anarchy and blood bath. Being in the west for sometimes now, I can see the difference in governance. Is that why we are called the third world country and they the first world countries. I don't say there is no corruption in the west but very minimal to what is there in India. I have worked for different departments of the government and I have not found anyone taking bribe at all to get their work processed. In India there are many places you have to pay bribe to get your work done. People who have money are able to give but what about poor people who need such documents and have to pay bribe. We must all be accountable to what we do. This is what we teach our children; shouldn't the nation teach the same thing to it's citizen.
