The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in the arrest of former Jharkhand Chief Minister, Hemant Soren, by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case. Instead, the court directed Soren's lawyers to seek recourse in the Jharkhand High Court. Soren, who was arrested following questioning in connection with a land scam case, had appealed to the apex court, alleging his arrest violated his fundamental rights. The Enforcement Directorate, in its case against Soren, alleged he illegally acquired and possessed multiple land parcels in Ranchi. The development comes amid accusations of political conspiracy by Soren ahead of upcoming elections.
