Champai Soren Sworn in as Jharkhand Chief Minister Amid Hemant Soren's ED Custody

Following the arrest of Hemant Soren on money laundering charges, Champai Soren takes oath as the new Chief Minister of Jharkhand.

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on charges of money laundering, involving an alleged Rs 600-crore land scam.
The Supreme Court dismissed Hemant Soren's plea against his arrest, directing him to seek relief from the High Court.
Hemant Soren has been remanded to 5-day ED custody, with allegations of illegally possessing approximately 8.5 acres of land.
Champai Soren, a senior Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader, has been sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Jharkhand.
The political shift in Jharkhand follows amidst claims of the ED acting under central government directives to destabilize the democratically-elected state government.
