Soren to attend uncle's last rites under police custody after HC nod
The Morning Standard
|May 06, 2024
FORMER chief minister Hemant Soren, currently under judicial custody after being arrested by ED in a money laundering case linked to a land scam, will attend the last rites of his uncle under police custody on Monday.
Refusing to grant him provisional bail on Friday, the Jharkhand High Court had allowed Soren to attend the last rites for a few hours under police custody.
The court had said that while attending the rituals, Soren would neither talk to the media nor hold any political discussion. Soren, currently lodged in Birsa Munda Central jail after being arrested on January 31, had approached the High Court for provisional bail after the Special PMLA Court in Ranchi refused to grant him the same.
