Hemant Soren walks out of Ranchi's Birsa Munda jail after court grants him bail

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday walked out of Ranchi's Birsa Munda jail after the Jharkhand High Court granted him bail in a money laundering case linked to a land scam.

He was arrested on January 31 from the Ranchi Raj Bhavan, minutes after he resigned as the Jharkhand Chief Minister.

On June 22, the Enforcement Directorate seized Rs 1 crore in cash and 100 live bullet rounds following raids in Ranchi as part of an alleged land grab-linked money laundering investigation against Soren and others.
