Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren seems to be in trouble in the money laundering case related to the alleged land scam. On Monday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) team started raids at 3 locations including Soren's house in Shanti Niketan, Delhi, from 7 am in the morning, which continued till late night. The ED team did not find Soren here, but while leaving, the team took his BMW car with them. The car which was seized by ED is of HR (Haryana) number. Taking precaution, the ED team has also sent an alert to the airport regarding Hemant Soren. Meanwhile, information has also come to light that the MLAs of the ruling party have been asked to gather at one place in Ranchi with their bags and luggage. Congress MLAs and ministers are reaching the Chief Minister's residence.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has targeted CM Hemant Soren. Dubey has said that Hemant Soren has called JMM and Congress as well as associate MLAs to Ranchi with luggage and bags. He further said that according to his information, a proposal has come to make Kalpana Soren the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister has informed that due to fear of ED interrogation, he will reach Ranchi by road and announce his arrival.
Soren had left for Delhi two days ago
Actually, Hemant Soren had suddenly left for Delhi late on Saturday (January 27) night. He had flown on a charter flight. Then it was told that he had gone to Delhi to hold some political meetings. There he will also take legal advice. Earlier, ED had sent him the 10th summons and asked him to appear between January 29 and January 31. If he does not appear before the ED, the agency will go to his residence and interrogate him.
ED had interrogated Hemant Soren's residence
Earlier on January 20, the Enforcement Directorate had reached Ranchi to interrogate the Chief Minister of Jharkhand in the land scam case. Earlier this month, Soren had written to the central agency saying that it could record his statement in the land scam case at his official residence. On January 20, the ED had issued the eighth summons to Soren on January 13, asking him to remain present between January 16 and 20.
