ED summons Hemant Soren in money laundering case for second round of questioning

| @indiablooms | 23 Jan 2024, 12:08 am

Ranchi/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren for questioning in an alleged money laundering case for the second time later this month.

He was questioned last on Saturday at his home in Ranchi. It was the first round of questioning after he had evaded the earlier summons.

This time, he has been asked to come to the zonal office of the agency between Jan 27 and 31.

Soren has claimed that he is being targeted as a part of a huge conspiracy.

"A conspiracy was hatched against me, but the final nail in the coffin of the conspirators will be put by us... We will not be scared, your leader will face the bullets first and keep your morale high," Soren told the workers of his Jharkhand Mukti Morcha after his questioning by the Ed on Saturday.

The case involves "huge racket of illegal change of ownership of land by the mafia" in Jharkhand, as per the central agency.
