Hemant Soren 'missing' as Enforcement Directorate probe heats up in land scam case

An Enforcement Directorate team visited the Delhi residence of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to question him in connection with a money laundering investigation and camped there for over 13 hours, during which they searched the premises. Official sources claimed Soren was "missing" and could not be contacted by the federal agency but a family member alleged that a "false" narrative was being set to "delegitimise" the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader's position. The Enforcement Directorate officials also seized Soren's BMW car and a bag containing documents as they left.
