"We examined some files where mining leases were allotted since 2004," Income Tax Commissioner (Patna) Ajay Kumar told newsmen. Koda, now an independent MP, was mines minister in the BJP government of Arjun Munda in 2004.

Asked whether any new face had come under the scanner in the Rs 2000 crore hawala and illegal investments scam that Koda and his associates were allegedly involved in, he said. "We are in the process of investigation, and I can't say now."

Additional investigating director Ajit Srivastav said doctors would decide on Sunday on Koda's release.

Koda was admitted to the hospital on complaints of stomach pain on November 3 after the launch of Income Tax raids on his properties.

On the files recovered, Srivastava said they were seized during the countrywide raids since Saturday on 76 premises, including the residences of Koda.
