ED moves SC against bail given to Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) moved the Supreme Court on Monday against the Jharkhand high court’s decision to grant bail to chief minister Hemant Soren. The bail is linked to an alleged money laundering case associated with a land scam. This action by the ED occurs just hours after the Hemant Soren-led government demonstrated its majority, with the numbers significantly favoring the JMM-led coalition. Hemant Soren had taken the chief minister’s oath for the third time on July 4, mere days after being released on bail by the high court.
