FIR filed against Madhu Koda

RANCHI: The vigilance police station on Thursday lodged an FIR against former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda and three of his former cabinet colleagues ��� Bandhu Tirkey, Bhanu Pratap Sahi and Kamlesh Singh ��� in a disproportionate assets (DA) case.

The move follows a directive by special vigilance judge Vinay Kant Khan, who is hearing the petition filed by Rajeev Sharma. The four are charged with amassing wealth disproportionate to their known source of income.

The same court on Saturday had issued non-bailable warrants against two former ministers ��� Ainosh Ekka and Hari Narayan Rai ��� in connection with the DA case. The two are absconding and are yet to be arrested.
