Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 14 (ANI): Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren along with his wife Kalpana Soren, offered prayers at the Maa Vindhyavasini Temple in Mirzapur on Sunday.
“Visited Maa Vindhyavasini Dham and prayed for a healthy and happy life for the people of the state by having darshan of Adi Mahashakti Maa Bhagwati Vindhyavasini,” Soren wrote in a post on X.
The Jharkhand Chief Minister was welcomed by District Magistrate Shiv Pratap Shukla upon his arrival.
The Jharkhand High Court recently granted bail to former Jharkhand Chief Minister and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha Chief, Hemant Soren, in the alleged land scam case.
Soren was arrested by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) in January on charges related to an alleged land scam and money laundering.
The investigation concerns the purported generation of substantial proceeds through the forgery of official records, involving fake sellers and buyers to acquire large parcels of land worth crores.
Soren had resigned as Chief Minister following his arrest in the money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Days after he was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand for the third time, Hemant Soren won the floor test during a special session of the state assembly on July 8. Hemant Soren won the vote of trust with the votes of 45 MLAs in his favour. He was sworn in as the 13th Chief Minister of Jharkhand in Raj Bhavan, Ranchi on July 4.
Hemant Soren was released from the Birsa Munda Jail on June 28 after nearly five months following bail from Jharkhand High Court in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.
Champai Soren who had taken over as the CM following the arrest, resigned from the post just five months after taking the oath, setting the ball rolling for Hemant Soren to again take over the role. (ANI)
