In a recent development, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren faces increased scrutiny as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issues the seventh summons in connection with a Land Scam Case. The ED, responsible for probing financial irregularities, has intensified its investigation into the alleged misconduct involving Soren. This summons marks a crucial point in the ongoing inquiry into the land dealings associated with the Chief Minister. As a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s political landscape, Soren now finds himself entangled in a complex legal predicament.
Turning back the clock to the previous year, an investigation into the forgery of century-old land documents and subsequent transactions brought to light a significant financial scandal in Jharkhand, reportedly implicating Hemant Soren. Over the past year, the Chief Minister has faced a series of summonses from the Enforcement Directorate, specifically in connection with alleged land and stone mining scams. Out of the six summonses, Soren attended one, choosing to skip the rest. In response, he filed a writ petition before the Supreme Court, seeking a stay in the investigations. However, the Supreme Court redirected the case to the high court, resulting in the dismissal of the petition. An anonymous legal adviser from the party disclosed that no petitions are currently pending.
Despite this setback, the party is actively exploring alternative legal avenues. Simultaneously, Chief Minister Soren has opted to address the matter politically, navigating the intricate legal landscape as he confronts these ongoing challenges.
