ED moves SC challenging bail to Hemant Soren in money laundering case

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Jharkhand High Court order granting bail to JMM leader Hemant Soren in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.

The high court had on June 28 granted bail to Soren, who on July 4 took oath as the chief minister of Jharkhand.

Soren, the executive president of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), had resigned as chief minister shortly before the ED arrested him on January 31 in the case.
