Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren Summoned by Enforcement Directorate in Money Laundering Probe

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a sixth summons to Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, requiring his appearance for questioning in connection with a money laundering investigation related to alleged fraudulent land transactions in Ranchi. Officials familiar with the matter disclosed that this move is part of the ongoing probe into the suspected irregularities in the sale and purchase of land.
Hemant Soren is expected to appear before the ED at its zonal office in Ranchi on Tuesday. This summons follows the dismissal of the chief minister’s plea against the fifth summons by the Jharkhand High Court. Initially, Soren appealed to the Supreme Court, which directed him to file his plea before the high court.
As the executive president of the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Hemant Soren holds a key position in the state. The ED’s investigation focuses on the alleged money laundering aspects related to land deals in Ranchi. The chief minister’s response to the latest summons remains awaited.
