The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has sounded a red alert against two key aides of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, in the alleged Rs 2,000 crore havala and illegal investment cases.
The ED has already sounded red alert against Binod Kumar Sinha and Sanjay Choudhary, an ED official, requesting not to be quoted, said adding in the backdrop of the ED's red alert they can not leave the country.
"We are taking all the legal recourses to get them appeared, so that there wouldn't be any loopholes left after completion of the investigation, which is at the crucial stage," he added.
"Both of them (Sinha and Choudhary) did not appear as the deadline set for today elapsed," a senior IT official involved in the investigation told newsmen here.
Sinha and Choudhary are among the six aides of Koda against whom the IT served summons on November 2 to appear before it.
