Ordering status quo, the Jharkhand High Court on Tuesday directed the Income Tax department that its transferred senior official Ujjwal Choudhary will remain in his previous post and continue to probe the Madhu Koda case.

The Income Tax department today said it has found documents of investments to the tune of Rs 50 crore during raids at the house of private secretary of Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren.

Tightening the noose around former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, the Income Tax department on Wednesday launched a country-wide raid and seized documents that could throw more evidence than those found in the first round of seizures in October.

The Vigilance Department, which has filed a chargesheet against former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda in a disproportionate asset case, will file supplementary chargsheets against him soon.

Former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, who was grilled by the Enforcement Directorate here, has given a detailed written statement denying any involvement in the multi-crore illegal investments and hawala case registered against him.
