Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu summoned by ED for alleged links with Hemant Soren and seized BMW SUV.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu in connection with his alleged links with former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and a seized BMW SUV. Mr. Sahu has been asked to visit the ED Regional Office of Ranchi on February 10.
Earlier, the Income Tax (I-T) department had conducted raids at the places linked to the Odisha-based distillery group owned by Mr. Sahu and recovered ₹350 crore in cash.
Sources said that apart from the alleged land scam case, the ED is questioning Mr. Soren in connection with the BMW SUV recovered from his residence in New Delhi. According to ED sources, Mr. Sahu had sent the BMW car seized from Mr. Soren’s residence in New Delhi.
On January 29, the ED team had raided the residence of Mr. Soren in Shanti Niketan, New Delhi and recovered ₹36.34 lakh, land-related documents and a BMW SUV having Haryana number from his residence. Then on February 7, the ED raided the premises of Yogesh Aggarwal, a well-known real estate and finance businessman in south Kolkata.
On Wednesday, the Special PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) court extended the ED remand of Mr. Soren for five days. The questioning is still being continued.
According to the facts presented by the ED for remand for the second time, Mr. Soren’s role is not only connected to the alleged land scam but also in transfer postings in the State.
