Ranchi, January 20: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is today interrogating Chief Minister Hemant Soren amidst action-packed drama by the JMM cadres on the roads.
The ED began questioning Soren in the Ranchi land scam today at around 2 pm which continued till the report was filed.
Soren, responding to the eighth summons, asked the ED sleuths to record his statement at the chief minister’s residence.
Notably, he ignored all previous seven summons and accused the agency of haunting him due to political reasons.

However, the ED, in its eighth summons, categorically told him to be available for questioning between January 16 and January 20 else the agency would be forced to take strong legal actions against him.
The ED is carrying out an investigation in ECIR bearing no. RNZO/25/2023 in the matter of Ranchi district Revenue Sub-Inspector Bhanu Pratap Prasad.
A huge number of documents including many incriminating documents were found in the possession of Bhanu Pratap Prasad when the ED raided his premises in connection with the Indian Army land scam and others.
Certain documents are allegedly linked with the CM related to the alleged grab of a costly parcel of tribal land in Ranchi.
