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.

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

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