A team of the Enforcement Directorate on Monday visited the residence of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren in connection to a money laundering investigation.
According to official sources, the visit could be linked to his fresh deposition in an alleged land fraud case due to which the investigating agency had questioned him at his official residence in Ranchi on January 20.
Last week, fresh summons were issued to him by the agency asking him to confirm his availability for questioning on either January 29 or January 31, sources had said.
The investigation pertains to a ”huge racket of illegal change of ownership of land by the mafia” in Jharkhand, according to the agency.
Meanwhile, security arrangements have been beefed up outside ED’s Ranchi regional office in Jharkhand.
The security has been tightened in view of the JMM workers gathering at the investigation agency’s office in Ranchi.
