The Jharkhand High Court has granted bail to former chief minister Hemant Soren in a money laundering case linked to the land scam. His lawyer, Arunabh Chowdhury, has claimed that the court found him not guilty of the offence. The high court had on June 13 reserved its decision on Soren’s bail plea.
“Bail has been granted to Soren. The court has held that prima facie he is not guilty of the offence and there is no likelihood of the petitioner committing an offence when on bail,” he told PTI.
Hemant Soren is currently lodged in the Birsa Munda jail in Ranchi.
He is the executive president of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM).
