ED has recovered Rs 36 lakh cash from the Delhi residence of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. At the same time, no one has any information about the whereabouts of CM Hemant Soren for the last 24 hours and posters have been put up at the place of Soren's disappearance.
Here, Governor CP Radhakrishnan called State Home Secretary Avinash Kumar, DGP Ajay Kumar and Chief Secretary L Khyangte to Raj Bhavan. The three officers have left the Raj Bhavan after the meeting.
Section 144 applied
Section 144 has been imposed around the Chief Minister's residence, Raj Bhavan and ED office. Security has been increased at all three places. Here, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has asked Delhi Police to find and bring Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
BMW car was seized
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) team reached Chief Minister Hemant Soren's South Delhi residence (5/1 Shanti Niketan) at around 7 am on January 29 for questioning in the land scam case, but he was not found. After the search, the investigating agency also confiscated his BMW car and took it with them. Even on Tuesday morning, sources in CM House say that the Chief Minister has not returned.
What is the matter
Let us tell you that about four and a half acres of Defence Ministry's land in Ranchi was bought and sold in a fraudulent manner. There were also allegations of money laundering. Top bureaucrats, politicians and government officials are accused in this case. Leaders close to CM Hemant Soren are also in jail in this corruption case. ED also wants to interrogate CM Hemant Soren in this case, but due to Hemant Soren not appearing before the ED, he has not been interrogated yet.
