Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, who is being questioned by Income Tax officials for alleged hawala transactions, was today admitted to a hospital here with complaints of high blood pressure and stomach ache.
"A week back he was discharged from the hospital after being cured of a kidney ailment. Today he came with stomach ache and his blood pressure was high," one of the doctors attending on him at the Abdur Razzak Memorial Weavers’ Hospital told reporters here.
A series of tests like ultra sound, X-rays and blood tests were being conducted on him, the doctor said.
Earlier, hospital spokesman Javed Akhtar had said that Koda was taken to the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Since Saturday last, IT sleuths have been raiding residences of Koda and his associates at 70 places in nine cities across the country with the IT department claiming to have found evidence of 'hawla transactions' and 'illegal investments' running into more than Rs 2,000 crore.
