The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids in Ranchi and seized Rs 1 crore in cash and 100 live bullet rounds as part of probe into alleged money laundering linked to a land grab case involving former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and others, reports PTI.
The seizure was made on Friday evening at the Kanke road residence of Kamlesh Singh.
The raids were being carried out in the alleged land grab case against former CM and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Hemant Soren but pertains to a different land plot, PTI reports, citing sources.
Authorities have also filed a police case under the Arms Act in connection with the recovery of the live ammunition.
The ED has arrested more than 25 people, including Soren, former Ranchi deputy commissioner Chhavi Ranjan, and Bhanu Pratap Prasad, as part of their investigation.
The agency has attached land parcels valued at Rs 266 crore, comprising various plots spanning 8.86 acres in the Bargain area of Ranchi, allegedly obtained illegally by Soren.
Four chargesheets have been filed in connection with the case so far.
Soren, 48, vehemently has denied the allegations of land grabbing, attributing the money laundering charges to a political vendetta orchestrated by the BJP-led central government. He was arrested by the ED on January 31 immediately after resigning as Jharkhand chief minister from the Ranchi Raj Bhavan.
