The move comes close on the heels of Jharkhand ordering a probe into alleged irregularities in the construction of the state assembly building and the new high court.
The Jharkhand government has ordered a probe by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) into the alleged amassing of disproportionate assets by former ministers in the previous BJP government in the state.
The move comes close on the heels of the state government in May ordering a probe by a judicial commission into alleged irregularities in the construction of the state assembly building and the new high court.
In February, Chief Minister Hemant Soren had approved a proposal for an ACB probe into alleged irregularities in the state foundation day celebration in 2016 during the BJP rule.
"The state government has ordered an ACB investigation into the matter of disproportionate assets of ministers during former government in the context of a PIL filed in the High Court in 2020 in Pankaj Kumar Yadav v/s Jharkhand State," a statement issued by the state government said on Tuesday evening.
