Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda was finally arrested on Monday after he repeatedly ignored summons from the state vigilance department, the income tax department and the enforcement directorate.
His former cabinet colleague and close aide, Kamlesh Kumar Singh, was also arrested.
It was the state vigilance department that arrested Madhu Koda from Chaibasa, the constituency he represents in the Lok Sabha, about 150 km southwest of Ranchi. He was remanded to 14 days judicial custody.
"They were arrested on non-bailable warrants for possessing disproportionate assets," Vigilance Bureau director-general Neyaz Ahmad said.
"The congress has implicated me in all these cases as part of a political conspiracy," said Koda, whose illegally amassed assets allegedly total Rs. 4, 000 crore.
