Koda denies receiving any summons

Ranchi, Nov 19 (ANI): Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda on Thursday denied receiving any summons from the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax department.

Both the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax Department slapped a multi-crore money laundering case against Koda recently.

Interacting with the media, Koda said: "I have so far not received any summons. When I get one, I will answer it."

He also reiterated that he was innocent and that all charges of illegal investments in various companies overseas levelled against him were baseless.

It was reported that the ED had issued fresh summons to Koda, the third in a week, to appear before it here on Thursday.

Earlier, the ED had asked Koda to appear before it on November 13 and 15.

Koda alleged that his adversaries were playing dirty tricks to tarnish his image before the assembly polls and he would expose them at an appropriate time. (ANI)
