Money Laundering Case: Ex-Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren Remanded to 5 Days of ED Custody

A special PMLA Court in Ranchi has sent former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to five days of Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land fraud.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had sought a 10-day remand for Soren on Thursday. The court, after reserving its order, sent the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) executive president to judicial custody for a day.

Soren, who resigned as the chief minister on the night of January 31, was arrested after a seven-hour grilling by the ED in the money laundering case.

Advocate General Rajeev Ranjan Singh, representing Soren, requested that his client be permitted to stay in jail at night due to security concerns. The court is yet to make a decision on Singh’s petition in this regard.

Singh had informed the court on Thursday that the entire proceedings against the former chief minister are part of a conspiracy to topple the government, as there is no evidence in the case.
