BJP government will fall after June 1 voting, claims Abhishek Banerjee
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has announced a new arrest in the ongoing money laundering investigation involving former Chief Minister Hemant Soren in Jharkhand. Mohammad Saddam has been apprehended by the central agency in connection with a land scam case, according to official sources. Saddam's arrest marks the third individual detained in relation to this case, following the previous arrests of 48-year-old ex-Chief Minister Hemant Soren and state government revenue department sub-inspector Bhanu Pratap Prasad. The ED has taken Saddam into custody under anti-money laundering laws, alleging his involvement in maintaining records for 8.86 acres of fraudulent land in Ranchi, which was allegedly illegally occupied by the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha.
This recent development underscores the intensifying scrutiny surrounding the alleged money laundering activities linked to prominent political figures in Jharkhand. With Saddam's arrest, the investigation expands further into the intricate web of corruption and illicit land dealings. The ED's concerted efforts to uncover and prosecute individuals involved in financial wrongdoing send a strong message about the agency's commitment to combatting corruption at all levels.
