The vigilance court ordered the filing of first information reports against Koda, Bandhu Tirkey, Kamlesh Singh and Bhanu Pratap Sahi on a petition filed by Rajiv Sharma.

According to official sources, the cases will be lodged after the vigilance department gets a copy of the court order.

The same court had issued non-bailable arrest warrants against two former ministers, Enos Ekka and Harinarayan Rai, June 27. Corruption cases have been lodged against them by the department, the sources said.
