Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested late night on Wednesday by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case after about eight hours of questioning. Before his arrest, Hemant Soren had submitted his resignation to Governor CP Radhakrishnan, which was immediately accepted. Here, after the arrest of Hemant Soren, danger is looming over many leaders of the country, who are already on the radar of ED. Let us know about those leaders who are under threat of action.
Arvind Kejriwal – The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has once again sent summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for questioning in the money laundering case related to Delhi Excise Policy. This is the fifth summons sent to the Chief Minister. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Kejriwal had earlier not appeared for questioning on the summons sent four times by the investigating agency. The agency had earlier summoned the AAP chief on January 18, January 3, and December 21 and November 2 last year. In this case, ED has so far arrested AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh as well as party’s communication in-charge Vijay Nair and some businessmen. The ED had claimed in the charge sheet that AAP used crime income of about Rs 45 crore in its Goa election campaign.
Pinarayi Vijayan – There is an old case against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in which the ED is investigating. There is an allegation of corruption in the name of awarding his contract. CBI had filed a charge sheet in this case in 1995.
Revanth Reddy- A money laundering case is also going on against Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. ED is investigating in this matter. He is accused of allegedly giving a bribe of Rs 50 lakh to an MLA in 2015.
Tejashwi Yadav- The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is continuously interrogating Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav in connection with the alleged land-in-lieu-of-job scam in Railways. He was interrogated for about 8 hours on Tuesday. The investigating officer recorded Yadav’s statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). In the same case, his father and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad are also being interrogated by the investigating agency officials.
