As officials of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) readied to arrest him, former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, at the centre of a Rs 2,500 crore money laundering scam, was on Thursday shifted from the ICU to the general ward of the Apollo Hospital.

The decision to discharge Koda, now an independent MP, who had been admitted after he complained of high blood pressure, nausea and a stomach ache, would be taken in a day or two after doctors review his condition, doctors at the hospital said.
