Video: India Today at land that sent Hemant Soren behind jail

India today takes you on a walkthrough of the land which caused legal trouble for former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The probe agency has alleged Hemant Soren's active role in a land scam in Jharkhand. 

Hemant Soren, who was remanded to one-day judicial custody on Thursday, has now been sent to five-day Enforcement Directorate custody. The Enforcement Directorate arrested Soren in the land scam, alleging that he had illegally acquired and possessed land parcels of approximately 8.5 acres. 

The ED-led probe also stated that several chats and other information about cash transactions obtained from Bhanu Pratap Prasad's mobile phone revealed illegal benefits that Hemant Soren received in acquiring these land parcels. Notably, the land fraud case stems from the June 2023 raids against Bhanu Pratap Prasad, a sub-inspector in the Jharkhand Revenue Department, who allegedly worked along with the land mafia.
