ED Moves Supreme Court Against Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren’s Bail in Money Laundering Case Related to Land Scam

Ranchi/New Delhi, July 8: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has approached the Supreme Court, challenging the Jharkhand High Court’s decision to grant bail to JMM leader Hemant Soren, who was sworn in again as Jharkhand Chief Minister, in a money laundering case related to a land scam. The ED has filed a petition in the apex court, seeking that Soren’s bail be cancelled. The High Court had granted Soren regular bail on June 28 with certain conditions.
