Jharkhand HC grants bail to former CM Hemant Soren in land scam case

Former Chief Minister Hemant Soren was granted bail by the Jharkhand High Court on Friday in a money-laundering case connected to an alleged land scam. Soren, 48, had filed a petition seeking bail on May 27. He has consistently denied the charges, attributing them to a political vendetta by the BJP-led Central government.
