Earlier, Jharkhand MLA from Gandey, Sarfaraz Ahmed, resigned from the assembly and his resignation was accepted by Soren.
However, Ahmad’s resignation as an MLA triggered speculations in the state political circles as it came a day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued its seventh summons to Chief Minister and JMM executive president Hemant Soren, seeking his availability for questioning in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.
The ED’s probe in this case reportedly pertains to the alleged “huge racket of illegal change of ownership of land by the mafia” in Jharkhand.
