The troubles of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, who is in jail, show no signs of abating. Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday alleged that Soren had taken the help of a revenue officer, Bano Pratap Prasad, for alleged activities related to illegal possession, purchase and proceeds of crime.
According to the agency, Prasad assisted several individuals in efforts related to the illegal seizure, acquisition and dispossession of assets acquired through criminal means and abused his authority.
The ED’s statement came after its Ranchi unit filed a prosecution complaint against Soren and four others in a land scam case. He is being investigated under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002 for purchase, possession and concealment of land measuring 8.8 acres in Bariato, Ranchi.
