The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday filed a prosecution complaint against jailed Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader and former Chief Minister Hemant Soren in a money laundering case related to a land scam.
The complaint, consisting of 5,500 pages of documents, was submitted to a special PMLA court in Ranchi on Saturday. The ED has also attached 8.5 acres of land to the case.
ED officials informed the court that the investigation is ongoing, and the trial in the money laundering case is expected to begin after the court takes cognisance of the complaint.
Hemant Soren was arrested by the ED on January 31 after a seven-hour interrogation. He had resigned from the mhief minister post before his arrest. Currently, he remains under judicial custody until April 5.
Earlier, on Saturday, Kalpana Soren, Hemant Soren’s wife, met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal at the latter’s residence in the national capital. Kalpana Soren arrived at Delhi Chief Minister’s residence and extended solidarity to Sunita Kejriwal.
