Two mini buses at CM residence

Two minibuses were seen entering the premises of Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren's residence in Ranchi while a team of ED officials is at the residence of CM Soren for questioning in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is now questioning Hemant Soren in a money-laundering case linked to an alleged land scam. His statement is being recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The probe pertains to the ED alleging that a "huge racket of illegal change of ownership of land by mafia was going on in Jharkhand".

The agency has arrested 14 people in the case, including 2011-batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Chhavi Ranjan who had earlier served as the director of the state social welfare department and deputy commissioner of Ranchi.

The 48-year-old Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader was questioned by the ED in November last year in another money-laundering case linked to alleged illegal mining in the state.
