New Delhi, Dec 13 (IBNS): Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, who has been convicted in a coal scam case by a special court, will be sentenced on Thursday.

Koda has been convicted in a case which pertains to irregularities in the allocation of the Rajhara North coal block to a Kolkata-based company Vini Iron and Steel Udyog Ltd (VISUL).

Along with Koda, former Coal Secretary HC Gupta was also held guilty.

However, the court has discharged VISUL's director of all the charges.
