Former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren granted bail.
On January 31, he was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate in relation to a money laundering case involving a land fraud.
Ranchi: In a case involving money laundering and a land fraud, the Jharkhand High Court on Friday granted bail to former Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
On June 13, the High Court postponed making a decision regarding Soren's bail request.
Soren has been given bail. Soren's senior attorney, Arunabh Chowdhury, stated, "The court has held that prima facie he is not guilty of the offence and there is no likelihood of the petitioner committing an offence while on bail."
In conjunction with its investigation into the money laundering case, the Enforcement Directorate detained Soren, the executive president of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), on January 31.
The lawmaker, 48, is presently being held at Birsa Munda jail.
SV Raju, the ED's attorney, contended throughout the hearing that Soren would commit a similar crime if he was released on bond.
