ED Summons Congress MP Linked to Seized BMW in Soren Probe

The investigation into former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren takes a new turn as the ED focuses on Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu, connected to a seized BMW car.

  • The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has linked a BMW car seized from former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren's residence to Congress MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu, intensifying the investigation into alleged money laundering.
  • Dhiraj Sahu, involved in a previous high-profile financial controversy with a record ₹351.8 crore cash seizure, is now summoned by the ED for questioning in connection with the car found at Soren's home.
  • The BMW, registered in the name of a firm owned by Sahu, was initially suspected to belong to Soren, who was arrested on money laundering charges related to illegal land transactions.
  • The Congress party has distanced itself from Sahu's financial controversies, while the BJP has criticized the Congress over the cash seizure incident.
  • Hemant Soren, challenging his arrest, alleges a conspiracy by the Centre and claims innocence, asserting he would quit politics if corruption charges are proven.
